I have to say after the challenge of trying to put it together and biting my tongue a few times and an almost divorce we did get the hardware almost lined up.  The right side never did get flush and I will be purchasing some white wood fill to try and make it look better and hide the 1/8 in space. Would I do this again NO! I have put many things together and I have to say not to bad at them but this was a challenge because it is awkward and heavy and you need two people. It does look nice up and against the wall but that crack is glaring at me. You will need a drill also and the pre drilled holes are not all the way through. So good luck to anyone who attempts this .
