This is a real review. I bought this product to have more storage in the kitchen area and from my old microwave stand. The material is press-board with a thin layer of lament. So this not solid wood, but for the price u pay, you get what you pay for. It comes in 2 boxes and you can see from the pic, alot of parts to put together. The parts are vaguely marked on the bags, but the shelving is clearly marked with stickers. The directions are a little difficult to follow due to they just showed illustrations for which cabinet piece to assemble and what hardware to use in each step. Needless to say, I made a couple of mistakes along the way which I found out later on in the assemble process. All were fixable, just took extra time to assemble the cabinet. The back piece that covers the back of the cabinet is not clearly marked to indicate where the screws line up with the back of the cabinet. so if your doing this by yourself, it will be difficult to hold up that panel and get screws started which is what the directions call for. Also the bottom of the cabinet just give you 5 plastic pieces that act like coasters for the unit to rest on. They are all screwed in bottom of the cabinet flush with no way to adjust for uneven floors. So the cabinet wobbles a little bit due to the floor not being even. So to fix that problem, just as a table wobbles, I put cardboard under one of the casters and that fixed the problem. But it would have been nice to have some type of adjustment. The handles that came with the unit is about a cheap piece of plastic I have ever seen. So after a trip to the hardware store, I changed them to metal handles and those are the ones shown in the pic. I say it took me approx 3-4 hours to put it together. If you never done one of these put-together projects before, it might take you longer, because like i said before the directions are hard to follow, because in the pictures they dont show you what side is lamented and what side is the unfinished side. Well at least for me. I can read electronic and mechanical drawings, so its not like Im a complete idiot. As far as other comments I read about the drawers and doors lining up, well as you can see from the pic, the drawers did line up and you can adjust the doors so they align up together. Overall, after all said and done, its a sturdy microwave stand with plenty of compartment space to store of lot of whatever and for the price, you get what you pay for, press-board with thin layer of lament.
