The product itself is nice...but there were definite problems with the directions and workmanship mainly because the holes weren't always drilled and only half if the parts were marked. I did have a part that should have come glued with the dowels but was not glued luckily I had Gorilla glue handy...but that certainly delayed things a bit. Keep in mind that this is a natural wood piece with absolutely no stain, so the finger joints which are MANY show all over the piece.
