It's a nice piece of furniture, but the install was a nightmare! There are 2 sets of instructions that came with it, one for the fireplace and one for a standard shelving unit. They were NOT marked and we didn't realize until we were halfway through that what we were using was for the shelving unit. We had to take it apart and start over. The hardware was not marked either. I can normally do something like this myself, but ended up hiring a handyman. He had to drill in the bottom since there were no predrilled holes for the center stand support. It is a beautiful piece once put together. Took the handyman over 2 hours with our help.
