This item is almost as difficult yo put together as a BBQ.  The directions are not crystal clear. I was constantly taking it apart to reinstall things especially when it came to the drawers. I accidentally used long screws instead of short ones ...the packages were not marked as per the instructions. It too hours to assemble this table. Of course throughout the assembly I had to turn it upside down and the top of the console table became easily snatched and scuffed. After assembly the table looked like it was old and had been to war. Unless you or someone you know is used to assembling these kids of things , give this a pass and buy something already assembled. This is not "some assembly" required...you are actually putting the whole thing together. The design is ingenious...but sooooo difficult to put together.
