I had read the reviews that complained about the difficulty of putting this together. They weren't kidding. I did it by myself and it took about 5 hours. The instructions appear to have been translated, not very well, with some words/terms obviously wrong. I didn't find any missing pieces but one wood section had a big chip at the corner - I turned it upside down so it wouldn't show - and a dowel hole was missing so I carved one with a screwdriver. The final result was beautiful, especially for the low cost, and my daughter loved it. I would recommend this, but only for those who are mechanically-minded and can figure it out even if the instructions aren't clear.

Pros: Loved the stainless steel top!
Cons: Instructions are confusing
