There are a lot of parts. Came with the SS top dented from shipping. Not worth getting a new top and delaying assembly. Dent right in center too. Anyway, I used Titebond III glue on all the dowels and edges, and used 4 of my 36 inch clamps until enough assembly was done to hold together by it's self. Usually in past projects I would use my own screws, but I didn't on this unit. It came with good enough hardware and everything went together well. A good product.
It gave us what we wanted, more storage for our food processor & tools, Instant Pot, Vitamix extras, and we are happy with it 100%. Took about 4-5 hours to complete. I was not rushing to get it done, and it does need 4 hands a few times during the assembly, or at least makes it easier. Burned all the shipping material. Great Offer Stock emailed me the assembly in .pdf because I also wanted a digital file because sometimes it helps to enlarge a picture or two to see a better layout. I didn't need to do that with these instructions. I would recommend this brand and carts to anyone. Although I have a complete woodshop, I DID NOT USE anything but glue and clamps. I used a manual screwdriver and I have 4 battery & 2~ 120v drivers. Didn't want to strip out the wood.
