VERY hard and frustrating to assemble. And we've assembled plenty of stuff. You will come to despise #2 screws, which number at least 20 and don't do their job. The wood parts crack and splinter easily, too. We received replacement parts for the splintered wood and broken #2 screws, but those #2 screws just do not work at all. They're supposed to lock in place, and they do not. We're going to have to send the whole thing back.
