The assembly was very difficult for my husband and I. When it arrived there were some parts that were damaged. We found the instructions incredibly hard to understand, with most numbering stickers missing on the boards to identify what was what, some screws missing, and the holes of where to screw into missing on the boards themselves. It took us almost a full day of trying to figure this out. We finally got our neighbour who is a carpenter to disassemble our mistakes and reassemble it based on his expertise. Overall, we don’t feel the quality of material and headaches of assembling this was worth the cost of purchase. If it didn’t seem so daunting to undo everything and repackage it to mail back for a return, we would have done so.
