Let me first say this is an inexpensive, unique and spacing-saving solution for additional pantry space.If you're not handy with tools, or are not a patient person, you should definitely consider hiring a handy person to put this unit together. It is a typical Ikea-like assembly process, but expect to spend at least 5 patient hours or more as a DYI project. The good news is that nothing was missing, in fact it had generous amounts of extra screws-and-such... "just in case." I'm a 74-year-old male in good health, and know how to use tools. I did most of the assembly on my kitchen peninsula, thus saving a for-sure back ache after 5.25 hrs. Caveat...I updated the handles, so I needed to drill a couple of extra holes. Much better appearance to my liking.My only complaint is the quality of details in the 12 pages of instructions. While they are adequate, with good size illustrations and text, the installations could be much improved. They lack accurate and sufficient detail to move more rapidly through the assembly process. Top? Bottom? Which side faces up? The line drawings were simply "okay" but you need to stay alert and question if each “step” is being done correctly. You're pretty much dead in the water without the instructions as this is definitely a methodical, step-by-step process.That said, at the end of the day (literally), it was a perfect add-on pantry solution for us and I would buy it again. We (a couple, no kids living at home) needed to add panty space but the only reasonable option was to utilize space in one of our adjoining hallways, luckily a bit wide as hallways go. We considered building custom cabinets, but after getting a couple of quotes around $1,500 (narrow depth), we decided on purchasing a free-standing solution.After exhaustive searches and five ridiculous years of considering different solutions, I committed to a day’s work while playing my favorites on Pandora (made a huge difference).With the added weight of the cans and bottles, it seems reasonably sturdy. Better than expected, honestly. One nice advantage, inherent with its narrow-depth design, is that you can see what’s in it much easier than a normal cabinet with items stored in front of other items.All in all...I’m a happy camper. Still, they SHOULD update their illustrations.
