This unit overall is a 4 star. after everything was done it has turned out great. Lost a star due to having to fix cheap handles and forgotten drilled holes. The parts are almost all are labeled, some unmarked but very easy to identify. You really have to read everything in the small print notes. ( note the back plane has 3 part numbers that are not affixed, only 15. we thought we were short parts 14 16). All the hardware was there, no scratches or damaged parts. The handles looked like they were metal but we read in reviews they are plastic, yep, cheapies that broke upon install, the screws stripped out upon getting them snug so a bit of jb weld in the handle (to simulate the plastic that stripped out) and it was okay. The glass doors were not pre-drilled to accept the holders and so we had to use a 5/64 drill bit to start the wood screws as the glass is commonly called stitches as sharp edges and razor chards if it ever breaks. trying to exert force in setting in a screw could lead to problems, to keep that from happening the drill was used to start the holes to secure the plastic holding pieces. The unit is sturdy and the drawer seems that it will hold lightweight stuff serving spoons spatulas and other misc stuff. The unit sits level and does not rock, it comes with a wall cord to make sure it does not topple for safety. This project took the wife about 4 hours and some of my assistance to lift the top part upon the lower. One last note, in installing the doors be careful you have the right one for the right spot, getting them out requires partial disassembly as they are spring loaded small inserts to hold them in place.
