OMG. This product tested my mental stamina. I followed the assembly instruction precisely and all was well up until I got to the point where I had to tighten two cams using a phillips screwdriver, but only had 4-6 inches of clearance. Who has a screwdriver that short? Had to break down and call an old boyfriend. Sigh. The compressed wood beneath the veneer is a bit fragile, too. You have to be really careful. Once I got it assembled I think it will be OK, but I did have to glue a broken piece back on. Now that it's done, it looks really nice and fits the space it's in perfectly. No one looking at it would know it's made with particle wood underneath the veneer. Of course I would prefer solid wood, but this fits my budget.
