My husband, fortunately, is an engineer and was able to assemble this project. His comments are “ the directions are worthless parts are mislabeled, some need to be drilled as they are not predrilled however this is not pointed out nor the bit size indicated. The average person would have difficulty assembling this project as the makers try to show assembly using only inadequate photos. “ Also, wine stems do not fit so the shelves had to be modified. Plan on at least half a day for assembly. That said, I believe it will fit our needs and purposes.
