This thing took me maybe 20-30 minutes to put together. It can probably be done faster than that as I goofed off with my cat while doing this. It’s very sturdy and looks nice. It works great as a folding station. It fits well in our hallway too which is nice, but we also have a somewhat wide hallway. Would not recommend for a hallway less than 4.5ft wide as it does result in a bit of a squeeze getting by carrying anything.I like that you could, if you wanted to, repurpose the table as a desk. it is very sturdy and a good value for the money.This works really well for the spot I have in my Pantry/laundry room. It is not fancy but functional.The instructions were very easy to follow and the item assembled very quickly with a minimum amount of pieces. Would definately recommend this product.very nice fit not to big not to small very happy with this table and hamper.I’m using this as a microwave cart. Been looking forever for something that would accommodate my recyclable as well. I LOVE IT.I put it together by myself and it took me about 20 minutes. Seems very sturdy and fit perfectly in my space. Love the that it has a workable flat surface on top. I haven’t “used” it since I just put it together today but will say 5 stars for now because of the ease of assembly, the look of it and the functionality it may have. If it breaks or turns out to be a hassle, I will update my review.Love this combo
