The assembly proved extremely difficult! Pine (if it is as it says) proved not hard wood and i had 4 minor damages which i had to deal with. My mistakes , though i am 55 years old DIYer. Instructions and quality could have easily been better. The color on second day smelling still thinner. There is something positive , the design and the color are beautiful and i hope i ll make to the chinese a european copy ,with the proper wood quality.
