I restore antique furniture, this is not by any means a fine piece of furniture...but it is ulitarian and smart looking.
Assembling this piececould proof a little daunting if youve never done anything like this before...its good to have 2 people working in tandem...do a little each day for about 3-4 days if you have the time.
Sometimes its easier and less frustrating that way.
You will need a small phillips head screwdriver for the glass inserts as well as a regular sized one for the main assembly.
They give you extra screws and dowels...always nice and a small tube of glue...more than you need. I would rate this product 4 and 12 stars...good buy for the money.
