Promising review: "I have waited for months for this to come back in stock. I have already gotten so many compliments on this, and just built it a few days ago. I did build it myself, which was totally doable with patience. I did not put the legs on, so that would probably need a second person. The doors are a bit odd, so you have to really work on getting them aligned, but it will work if you keep trying. Def recommend!" –zoegPrice: $320
