It's well engineered, contains clear instructions and gorgeous once finished.

Before you unpack it completely, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! You can save yourself a step or two before you unpack it all.

I'm NOT handy, but I've put together plenty of Ikea furniture. You might need a friend for two specific steps, but other than that, it's a one person job. This was definitely easier than some of the larger Ikea projects EXCEPT that occasionally you got a tiny bolt/screw and a receptacle (?) that didn't want to cooperate. I probably stripped 4 or 5. I didn't count, but I'm guessing there's about 100 bolt/screws required to assemble. It took me 1.5 hours to get the basic frame together (took my time ... you could probably do it faster) then about 2 or 3 hours to put the drawers together (again, you, faster).

Everyone I've shown wants to know where to get one. Now, I'm really wanting to get the matching stand-up cabinets.

Shipping was fast via a third party freight company. The back panel had two small dime-sized dents in it from the shipping process. Other than that, it was VERY well packed. Wish I had read reviews more closely ... I would have saved some money and bought from a local Sams.

It's heavy, even though it is two flat packs you might want some help until you get the packs broken down.

From then on its a breeze. Beautifully formed pieces and simple to follow instructions. Assembly without power tools took me four hours and that included setting up the drawer spacing. Just measure total gap available in the frame drawer aperture then subtract the total depth of all drawers added. Divide that number by the total gaps and set them up with feeler gauges...looks incredibly good when done.

I also advise adding extra grease to the drawer roller assemblies and using red Locktite on every single fastener.

If you feel a screw is not going in easily back it off straight away and start again. Everything is so well engineered that there should be nothing that fights back.

Biggest complaint is that the rubber drawer mats were wrinkled but that is easily resolved by steaming them flat between two towels. Be sure to dispose of all the plastic bags properly because of suffocating hazards to littl'uns...

I HIGHLY recommend this product and would definitely buy again...

I'm 73 years old and put this together in about 5 hours. I attribute this to good instructions, precise manufacturing, and an overall good design. If you can put together an Ikea cabinet, you can handle the assembly of this unit. On top of that, it's got room for just about everything. And the top is gorgeous. I've been wanting a tool chest like this for 45 years, and it was worth the wait!

This cabinet is awesome. I needed something sturdy to put my die clicker press and other larger tools on, and it fit the bill. I was hoping it would not take the repeatedly reported six hours to build (especially since I put things together all the time), but it did take about six hours. It was a good six hours though. All the pieces were packaged safely and neatly between two pretty heavy boxes (over 100 pounds each). The instruction's wording was clear with pictures, and labels that corresponded to the labels on every single piece (even the screw bags were labeled). Once assembled, it was easy to roll in place and lock the two lockable wheels. I highly recommend this cabinet. It's worth the money.

Great value very heavy and sturdy.Overall a great product. I'd buy another if I had room in the garage. Small issues that prevented 5 stars:
4 of the rivets that you screw into for various parts (two drawers and two panels) were bad making assembly difficult at times. Had to drill and tap two and others were loose.
Drawer alignment was easy but takes time. Each change meant changing the next drawer alignment. Hard to make this easier so I can't fault the product design too much.
Had 3 dings in the back panel and part of the wood.top had some slight damage but nothing that was a deal breaker.
