And the instructions are awful.... it took a long time to imagine how the pieces went together.  I tried to balance the parts to assemble... as you really need 2 people.  After an hour of frustration and the damage to several parts caused by my futile efforts to juggle... I thought it prudent to simply throw it in the trash.  I have put together a lot of furniture shipped in boxes this month as I have a new apartment... but this was a challenge I was not up for,

Pros: Looks Great and not expensive
Cons: Very difficult to assemble if you are relying on easy to follow directions.
