This stand is very sturdy feeling. I can't attest to its paint bubbling up in water as I haven't yet gotten it wet. It took me about 1.5 hours overall, most of that time being spent on the door. Keep in mind I'm a teenage girl doing this by myself. It definitely would have been quicker with an extra hand. The rest of it went right up in maybe 30 minutes. If I were to replace it or get another at any point I would definitely do the one WITHOUT the doors.
A few tips:
-Pay close attention when it says to insert the 12 part B's (the big round thing with a phillips head on one side). There are 4 large holes on the front each of the panels (#4 and #5), and then a smaller corresponding hole on the side of each panel. The little arrow of the phillips head should be pointing toward the hole on the side. If you put it in the wrong direction it is easy to adjust by just using a screw driver.
-If you want the magnetic door latch on the top instead of the bottom of the cabinet, screw it on to the bottom of the middle shelf before you mount the middle shelf to the side walls of the cabinet space. I feel like this would have saved me a lot of the time I spent upside down with my head inside the cabinet.
-As with pretty much anything you assemble, don't tighten the screws in one side to 100% before you put the screws in the other side. That way you don't end up crooked. This is pretty important when you put the top on.
-The instructions say to screw the poles into the bottom of the top shelf, then to rest the whole thing on top of the middle shelf and screw the bottom of the poles in after. I found it easier to screw the poles into the middle shelf, then rest the top shelf on top of the poles to screw it in last.
-If you have someone that can hold the door in place while you screw the top door hinge in, it helps immensely. Otherwise the rest of the installation can be done by one person no problem.
To put the size into perspective, I'm 5 feet tall and this stand doesn't even come up to my hip.
