The assembly took 5 hours and extreme frustration. The screws in the walls that hold the drawer gliders took the longest. They are little screws and you can't see most of the holes those 22 screws go into. Even where you can see the holes you can't get your hands in there to hold the screws, and the screws wouldn't stay on the provided screw driver, what saved my Bacon was my own screwdriver that would hold the screws straight until I got it started. But even then the screw would fall off and I had to try again about half a dozen or more times for each screw. Certainly the designer is worthy of capital punishment for such a cruel design. There's no way to hold the screws to get it started and one has to put there hand over the slider and stretch there fingers to turn the screwdriver. Once the frame is together, the drawers and other items are easy, just monotonous. There's a total of 265 screws, but the 22 that went into the sliders took longer, and were more frustrating than the other 243 screws. My suggestion is to find a Phillips head screwdriver that will hold the little screws straight for you to get them started and tightened. My problem was each time I tried and missed the hole I could not see, the screw fell off and I had to start again. And those little screws are the reason I only gave it four stars. They look very cheap, weak, small screws for the job. My grade 5 screws look of higher quality than these, and I know grade 8 is for tractors and stressful applications, but I want this to last. It looks great, but if the screws holding it together are weak, then how long will it last before it breaks apart???
So 0 stars for assembly, and 4 stars because assembled it looks great, the drawers slide and fit well. The lock may not even be good enough to keep honest people honest🤷🏻♂️ It's another weak part of the system. The work top is top notch solid wood. But if you have lots of patience, and can have 22 screws that are almost impossible to even get started fall off and restart several times and not blow your top, then I think it will be a pretty good tool cabinet, work table for you. It's about 250 lbs and took three of us to load it. But I sent my helpers home during the effort to try to attach the sliders to the back wall and front frame, because they couldn't get their hands in there or see anything and were so frustrated they weren't helping. Helpers aren't needed except for unloading and turning it over, and they weren't there for that, so I used all of the packing materials and some other foam I had and put it on the drawer side in kind of a mountain on each end and in the middle. I locked the wheels. Then I laid it over on the packing material hill I just built. Once laid over on it, I could get my hands under the side to tip it now on the side of it's wheels resting on the packing materials, then lifting with my legs I was able to lift the top setting it on all four wheels. Then I started assembly of the drawers, etc .
