I'm seeing an issue seen with other reviewers, in which the back mounts don't tie together easily. This could cause long-term issues with the back if excess weight is applied. Not sure what to do about this since disassembly is difficult. It is what you paid for and as long as it doesn't snap off clean, I expect this to remain part of my apartment for some time to come. Design wise, it is as attractive as the image shows, a perfect compliment to my sense of style.
