The assembly for this was definitely more involved than something from Ikea, and it took my wife and I about 3/4 hours to put together, but it looks great. Ive seen a few negative reviews calling out the cam locks, and we had some issues with those too at first, but then we figured it out and I thought Id share a tip: dont screw the cam screws all the way in. Screw them in until you can no longer see the threads, then stop. It sounds counter/intuitive, but if you screw the cam screws in as far as they will go, theres not enough room for the cam locks to lock on to them. Other than that it was pretty smooth sailing. I love it!!
Time/intensive to assemble but a good end product
