I assembled it myself, with just a helper to hold things in place for me. It says power tools arent needed, but theres a few parts where it expects you to screw directly into the wood, which is obviously WAY easier with a power drill than just a screwdriver. When you assemble the individual shelves, youll need to put a screw in a hole thats just a liiitle too small, which isnt a big deal except that theres a groove nearby, and trying to get the screw in would crack the wood into the groove. My solution was to use shorter screws than suggested. I cant remember now if screw R or S is the short one, but one of those is short and the other is longer. Since I had a few extra, I just substituted the shorter screws for this part.
Otherwise, assembly was very easy! Im not taking off a star for that since it wasnt too big of a deal and every other part was so easy. The finished sideboard also looks LOVELY and feels very sturdy. The box it was shipped in did look banged up, but nothing was damaged inside. Ive gotten tons of compliments from everyone whos seen it about how nice it looks, so it gets a 5 star review over all! Worth the price !!!
super nice!
