Designed by Satan I suspect. If I could give this a negative star, I would. Nay, Id give it 3 million negative stars. My spouse and I have spent the afternoon attempting to put these misshapen, wonky pieces of furniture together and wept as holes refused to align and pieces of furniture fell off in front of our eyes. The one chair we actually manged to assemble has one leg half an inch shorter than the rest. Cheaper furniture I have never seen. If you value your money, sanity, (and possibly your relationship), pass hard on this set.
