When putting together, I believe it is step 4 when you connect 2 sections, the assembly moved and the brackets busted out the board and the wooden dowels broke as well. You have to move the pieces in order to connect the two main shelves. So be very careful. I think it the bars would have been longer or if the wood was better it wouldnt have happened. I fixed by getting Gorilla Gel Glue which works on wood and to connect the pieces since I could no longer screw them in. Also the last step to screw the back board in, the holes on board 13 I believe didnt line up. I tried to find the right spot but gave up after a few failed attempts. In the end, it looks good. The assembly was for pretty easy for one person. The instructions were clear. I am disappointed that only the bottom right cubbie is big enough for records. The other 2 sections that are tall enough have doors and arent deep enough to put records in and close the door. Just be aware of that if you are using this as record player stand like I am.
Should be cheaper
