I would give this 4.5 stars if I could because I don't want to draw down the average. I decided to assemble this myself and I wouldn't recommend that if you have old knees and hips like I do. Bending and kneeling became difficult but I got it done. I received 1 broken and 1 incorrect part but they were replaced right away. The customer service is awesome!! The reason for my 1/2 star rating is that the instructions had some mistakes and weren't easy to follow in some areas. But again, I got it done. I am so excited to get started sewing with the cabinet - it looks great and I know it will be very functional.

My wife is really enjoying her new Kangaroo II and Joey cabinet. She puts the Joey to the right side and that allows her to slide her chair between her sewing machine on the right and her serger that is on the left side. She puts a small ironing board on top of the Joey and can easily sew, serge, and press seams all without having to get out of her seat. BTW, the Arrow sewing chairs (her's has the button design) are the perfect sewing chair. It supports your back higher than other chairs and angles you slightly forward which is how you sit at your machine anyway. I thought they were a high priced gimmick at first, but after the store owner had me sit in one, I was sold and so was my wife. No gimmicks. Great chair !! Don't forget that you will need to purchase an insert for your sewing machine in order to use it at table height. The insert is specific to your machine and is not included in the price of the cabinet. We had some problems with the Joey cabinet wheels which are not well designed in my opinion. They easily break out of the bottom of the cabinet (which is only particle board). Particle board is not easily repairable. I have a comment and repair suggestion on the Joey cabinet page if you are interested. We purchased our cabinet and chair from a reputable sewing center who assembled the cabinet for us. My wife is very happy to now have a versatile and efficient sewing setup.
