its like someone told the design team to create this chest using as many pieces as possible, then told the instructions team to describe assembling it using as few words and pictures as possible. putting this together was maddening. it was also made worse by the fact they included the left side twice and no right side, and had two wait two weeks for a replacement to arrive after i already started building it.  

none of this would have been the end of the world if the piece was really high quality, but it's about as cheap looking as it gets. would have been waaaay better off getting something from ikea. you've been warned
