Updatemy dad finally was able to build this. I think he put the strip of lights in the wrong place. It doesn’t open easily. 

Original review
We’ve been trying to build this for the past two weeks and it’s actually really complicated. The instructions aren’t helpful. The pieces are actually not labeled (stickers missing on most parts). And one of the pieces arrived damaged and over time as we tried to build it the paint peel off got slightly bigger. Really frustrating because we were looking forward to see how the LED light would look in our upgraded(-in progress) bedroom. I honestly don’t want to get a replacement part or anything. My brother, my dad, and I are super fed up with this. Some of the holes don’t align well either so it feels like parts have to be forced together. We only got the top part built so far. We will keep trying but I honestly feel like giving up. Will update if we ever get to finish.
