This looks more expensive than it is and feels so solid. It takes time to put together, but I thought the instructions were pretty good, and they labelled every part, and everything needed. When the instructions reference a certain letter or number there is a little divided bag with labeled corresponding parts/pieces/hardware. It took me about an hour to put together (with a drill instead of manually screwing the screws). It would probably take maybe twice the time using a screwdriver. Looks fantastic, drawer slides smoothly. Pro tip: When you get to the part where you screw in the hinge for the bench lid, attach the hinge to the underside of the bench/lid first before attaching it to the main base.
