I bought this on sale, and was super excited. It looks beautiful, but I still feel like I paid WAY too much for the cheap quality. I caught a missed numbering in the instructions, and a confusing part to this was a placement of wooden pegs. It took longer than 3 hours (as it suggests) because I did this alone and was praying not to mess anything up. Here is the sad part--So, you have to glue wooden pegs into holes for a sturdy connection (makes sense) however, they do not tell u how far to go down. So I did about 23 of the way. Well, then u also place screws to help secure it (cool).....thats were things started to go south. The pieces wouldnt snap completely together, so Id push, used a mallet (as suggested) and screw it down and these were the results. PLuckily, all this happened in areas that you cant see, which still is offputting and highly upsetting.
