I was able to spend a couple hours in the garden today, including some watering.
Right now, I'm in the middle of assembling the third cabinet for the dining room. It is going faster than the two previous ones. After that, not sure if it will be today, will be to empty the cabinet that is currently there, and then moving them.
Once the cabinets are in line, I can put in the shelves, and then start to put things into them. It's going to look nice, as well as help break the kitchen gridlock.

Finished putting the cabinet together. And moving the old one out of the way. And moving the new one in line with the others. I've made a mess in the dining room... So tomorrow, if I have time, I'll work on that.
Other than the mess (what else is new?), the cabinets look really nice in there. Their simple style fits well in the room.

Not really that difficult. These were from a company called Sauder, purchased through a Big Box store. They were very inexpensive, and while they look really good, are rather cheap. In total, I'm very pleased to have something nice looking in which to be able to put extra kitchen things. I can't purge everything. 
The instructions were very good both in words and illustrations, and all the little parts (screws, etc) were very neatly organized, and complete. I thought the holes could have been better pre-drilled, and in the construction of the second and third ones, I made sure they were with a thin ice pick. Tool-wise, all I needed was a Philips screwdriver and a hammer. And patience.
Perhaps if you know the style of cabinet you want, go to the Ikea site (I assume there is one) and see if there are reviews of the product, and what people say about putting them together.
