This is a really nice piece of furniture but it was really hard to put together, which is why I gave only four stars. I am very good at putting furniture together and very patient, but this one was really the worst ever. 
Once put together, it is quite nice, the wood looks good and there is ample storage space. 
Making it easier to put together wouldnt require that much of a fix, but I am not ruling out the person who devised this is not totally sane.
