I just finished assembling my table. The order of the directions prevents you from being able to easily complete future steps. I attached the hinges in line with the dowel holes as it says, but when the time came to connect two pieces using the dowels, the screw was in the way. I ended up putting a hold through the table. Additionally, attaching the table top is near impossible. Each side has 6 screw holes, and you have limited room to work. I’m a small person, and I had a hard time. It also says to use a drill- my drill is tiny, so I can’t imagine the trouble someone would have with a bigger drill. The assembly was incredibly frustrating, so while I like the look of the finished product, I would absolutely not purchase this again.
