This project took too long to put together and requires additional help, do not purchase if you reside alone or want a DIY. The significant issue I had with this piece of furniture was that none of the markings or 'holes' were in the woodwork even though they were indicated in the assembly instructions. For example if I needed to screw in 6 screws, the peice only had 2 holes; thus requiring additional holes to be drilled. Attempt if you are skilled at DYI and own a drill or do not mind spending hours on this work. Make sure to have people with you to put it together as it is not for the individual to put together. Not pleased at all.
