After receiving 2 damaged parts it took 3 weeks for the replacements to arrive and while putting together realized 2 dowel holes were missing. Instead of waiting another 3 weeks for another part I drilled the holes myself and hope I didn't compromise the integrity. Other than that the both pieces can be assembled in about 2.5 hours and reccomend 2 people at certain times of the build. My wife is happy with the outcome which makes me happy also.
