Wow, was this tough to install; it took me over a week. I have one straight board, which I wasn't planning to cut in two, so I installed all four hinges on it. But first I had to repair the board; once I'd pried it off, I discovered it had a big cutout down the back for some reason, which I had to fill in with scrap because the hinge screws fell in that area. (With older houses, you just expect the unexpected.)Once I had a usable back on the panel, I put the nails back in (loosely) to hold the panel in place while I climbed into the cabinet with a pencil to draw the outline of the openings for lining up the paper templates that come with the set. You drill your pilot holes off the template.As for the screws, the only way I could get this to work was starting them with the hinges closed, which meant climbing into the sink cabinet with a flashlight and a screwdriver for some contortions around the sink bottoms. Once they're started in the holes, you can prop the panel open and screw them in (still by hand -- the heads strip easily) from the outside; if the pilot holes aren't deep enough, this will be a miserable process. Also I kept dropping the screws, and they're small and easy to lose (I never did find one of them), but fortunately the pack included an extra. I suspect the overall process may be much easier if you're only doing two hinges at a time rather than four.I didn't tighten the screws for the trays because I want to be able to remove them easily, and that's been fine -- they've stayed in place even when I accidentally let the panel slam. But that shallow inside rim means you have to be careful about how you pack things into these trays or stuff will go flying into the cabinet.I also needed sandpaper, wood filler, and stain for the gouges on the front from removing the nails; I routed finger pulls, which also got sanded and stained. I don't have drawers to spare, so this has been fairly useful for getting assorted items off the countertop. I'm judging it worth the effort.
