I fought with this item for days, attempting to assemble it.  Poor quality item, and one of the pre-installed inner metal bolts kept coming out of one of the wood panels when I was putting it together.  I tried 3 different kinds of wood glue to cement it back in place in order to continue with the assembly.  I finally finished with the one side just attached "so so" and hoping it would stay together.  Very, very frustrating to have a defective item piece but I didn't have time to contact customer service for a replacement as I was having visitors coming from out of town.  I can't recommend this item at all, I'm curious if others have had the same problems with the faulty hardware.
