When I read the reviews this was difficult to assemble I didn't think twice, those things are very subjective.  That being said... we have put together many pieces of furniture and this was ridiculous.  Parts arrived damaged, then only 1/3 of the way into assembling, 2 camlocks shattered.  However, Wayfair's customer service went above and beyond.  While we will not be keeping this item we will remain shoppers.  5+ stars to the awesome customer service reps who helped us.
