Assembly was idiotic. Lots of obnoxious little pegs that didn't line up and therefore chipped off the finish. Loads of parts you really didn't need. No words in directions, just poorly labeled diagrams, in which all of the (unlabeled) pieces looked the same. Yes, it was cheap, but a nicer one wasn't that much more. Had I known how cheap it would look and how easy it was to chip, I would have invested another $30 and gotten a good one. Mad.
