Sadly, I could not put this item together as described and needed to request a refund.
I read all the reviews and realize that this may be a "one in many" issue.  I just may have received 
an odd one. The lower legs were bending inward instead of outward as in the picture & would not be stable
I have put together many items, many more complicated (such as the Headboard and Pub Table, and Accent chairs, I ordered from Wayfair a few months back), I had not problem getting them together, and they all look beautiful and are sturdy.  
I will state that Wayfair has the best Customer Service and my issue was addressed to my satisfaction in no time.
Great Customer Service is what will keep me coming back and ordering from Wayfair.
