This piece of furniture was a nightmare to put together.  Directions need to be rewritten. they are not user friendly.  The pieces and parts are not marked well at all.  The directions are very confusing and need to be more precise. My husband had to take apart and put back together parts of the server 3 times.  We were very frustrated and accidently chipped the particle board.  Fortunately, the damaged we caused did not show.  Once the piece was put together it looked very nice and suited our needs.
