I have put together so many pieces of furniture over the years I have lost count. from entertainment centers to outdoor furniture, etc. i do delivery and its always in pieces for me to do myself. i must say this should NOT have been difficult but the directions and the way it was designed was not very convenient. the order to place the pieces and the types of hardware was truthfully not wonderful and i think i would have rather paid to have assembled. which i NEVER say. at the end of the day, it is functional and looks like the picture. I used for a table near the fireplace where the TV is to hold the modem and some other electronics and also place some decor on it to make it more appear more purposeful and not just a random piece to hide wires.
After I ordered this, I saw many negative reviews about how bad the directions were and how difficult it was to put together. I was concerned.
It turns out, there wasnt much need to be. Everything arrived intact, and all the pieces were there. The directions were clear, and assembly was easy, taking me less than an hour to complete.
Note that every piece and every bag of parts is labeled with a letter or number that is referenced in the directions. See attached photos for examples.
The only issue I had was in the small drawings. Sometimes the orientation of pieces is not clear. If you take time to match up pieces and the drilled holes in them with the pictures in the directions, everything will be fine.
Note that the drawer slides are stamped with a letter R and L to keep you from getting them confused. The directions label these as parts F and G and they are indistinguishable in the printed guide. Pay attention to the labeling on the part as pictured here, and everything will be fine.
It looks nice and shipped well with very few scuffs during transport. The assembly couldve been much easier though if the pictures were higher quality. Several times, I had to check a few steps ahead to figure out the proper orientation of a part due to features missing from the pictures.
The end product is pretty to the eye. But if you look a little closer, you can see small scratches in the shelves and various other places.
Putting this thing together was a irritating though. The instruction pictures are not clear. I had put something in with the wrong side facing upward, so I had to take basically the whole thing apart to flip it. So just make sure you read the instructions from beginning to end before you start.
Overall, the product is pretty to look at and does the job. Not bad for the price.
Putting together this shelf would not have been so difficult if the instructions and pictures were clearer. It was very difficult to see where things lined up in the picture alone. The worst part about this furniture was the fact that I had to redrill holes in the bottom piece in order to line up the connecting pieces. The screws would not fit through the predrilled holes and they were not matched up correctly on the connecting piece. Granted this table is not the most expensive furniture, but you would expect to have the pieces that come unassembled to at least have the proper locations for the predrilled holes to make assembly easy. The finished product isnt terrible which is why I have given this table two stars, but I will never buy from this company again and I would suggest anyone who is considering this product to look elsewhere first. If you do buy it, make sure you have a drill handy to fix their problems.
Table looks good. Instructions on how to put together are not great. Missing the right drawer bracket after about a hour of putting it together. Waiting to see if I can get a replacement.
Perfect size. Was able to put 4 storage boxes on the shelves. Drawer wont hold anything more than stamps or envelopes. Side detail beautiful. Easy assembly.
I have been redecorating my apartment on a small budget. I needed an entry way table to put my purse on when I walk in the house. This works perfect! The price is good for what you get. Directions are a little hard to read but other than that it is perfect for what I was looking for. The drawer space is a little small and I wouldnt put anything super heavy on or in this.

product is good, directions are not at all great

Easy assembly, when done with care.

Nice table but assembly could be improved

It was easy to put togeather and is an excellent product. Looks great and is sturdy.
Loved it. Excellent item.
Decent for the price

Prolly wouldnt buy again.
