This is about my 10th furniture purchase from so I have experience in assembling these types of things. This is the first one I about packaged up and returned. Half of the labels were not on the hardware pieces. Which is fine it is pretty easy to figure out what is what. Second some steps were missing from the instructions. Some diagrams were not super clear. The order in which it has you assemble certain parts made it difficult at times. Usually I can assemble something this size in one evening. I spread this out over a few days due to the frustration. As other reviews have stated DO NOT over tighten anything. Or even tighten for that matter. Sometimes the screws were not even in all the way and the board was starting to crumble. I have never experienced that with other products of this type I have purchased from . That leads me to believe the quality is just not there for this one. We will see how long it lasts. But the hassle of it and lack of quality it just isnt worth the price. I was so frustrated you can see from my pic I wasnt even finished assembling it when I wrote this review. Thats how fed up I was. But the design was exactly what I was looking for to suit my needs. So for now I will finish assembling it, cursing all the way and see how long it lasts. But think twice and look for other options before making this item your final purchase.
The frustration is real!
