This piece was slightly annoying to put together (you have to get the screws in JUST right, but all the effort was worth it. The piece is very sturdy and beautiful-- especially for the price. I planned to use this as a piece of furniture in my daughter's room after she no longer needed a changing table, and was thrilled to see this piece would allow me to remove the changing component. I was a little dissapointed to see how many screw holes that would leave on top. I wish it came with something to fill those holes. Otherwise, I love it.
