Perfect addition to my home. I put it together myself which was a small feat but I'm very pleased to say I did put it together!! The directions make sense and are easy to follow with patience. The only hick-up I ran into early was putting the hooks on upside down. The directions don't specify and it was an easy mistake to make. Another suggestion is to use wood glue along the way so the piece has more permanence over time. When you see the hardware and wooden pegs you'll see what I mean. Overall, I am very pleased with it. Very happy I purchased it and even happier I could put it together!
