This is a beautiful piece of furniture.  I love it.  It was a bit of a challenge putting it together.  Need to pay attention to how you hook up main center piece to bottom (ensure the front part is on the front end and not on the side with slit - that is the rear for back panel).  I suggest putting it together in the morning or early afternoon when you've had coffee and aren't tired.  Need to pay attention to how you are hooking things up.
