The good news:
- This looks fantastic and is perfect for holding wine, accessories, glasses, whatever you need. I have received many compliments on it and I'm very happy with its appearance.
- The unit is very sturdy and made of solid material.
- They give you an extra of each kind of screw just in case.
The bad news:
- I pride myself on being good at putting together furniture and this thing was a BEAST to build. The instructions are not paced well and have multiple steps squished together into one step. I did most of it by myself but I needed my husband to hold some of the bigger, heavier pieces in place while I secured screws.
- The screws and locknuts are poor quality. I had one locknut break as I tightened it and nearly all of the screws were stripped by the time I got them all the way in.
- The space for the drawer on the left is a little too tight and the drawer needs some force to move in and out.
- The space for the drawer on the right was too small for the drawer to fit at all. I double checked and I had definitely constructed the unit correctly as all the dowels were in place and everything else was lined up as it should be. This drawer space was just about a centimeter too narrow. I actually had to deconstruct the drawer and take a saw to the back and internal front pieces and narrow it, then screw it back together to make it fit. It works great now and you can't tell that I made any changes, but what a pain in the butt.
Overall:
- If you have the patience and determination to force this thing together it's a great piece of furniture and a reasonable price, but be prepared for a heck of a chore.
Looks great now that I have it together.
