This item arrived in complete shambles in the box. The styrofoam was completely ground down to powder, offering zero protection for the various parts, which weren't organized in any way inside the box, making sorting through them a nightmare. Many of the parts were chipped or badly damaged. Several pieces of hardware were missing and not all of the pages of the instructions were there. The instructions that were given were absolutely incomprehensible. I hired a professional furniture builder to construct this for me because I tried for hours and then gave up. Nothing fits easily together like it should. It took the professional 6 hours! It was a complete nightmare.
