I had to stop and turn it around a few times to make the assembly work. At first I thought the holes were drilled incorrectly on mine. However, I reversed things and it worked. That said its probably not the best metal fabrication ever made ha ha. I believe the reviewers who werent so lucky. For the price its wonderful and disappears in a small space. Not sure Id buy it again as glass is never relaxing. But this space is small and this really looks better than anything else out there including more expensive choices.
