My daughter and I tried several times to put it together and it kept falling apart, I felt like I was playing the game Jenga, we would get close to the top and a piece would pop out and the entire thing came apart.  It's flimsy, nothing gets screwed together and its unsturdy.  After over an hour or so we gave up and went to Target and bought one for only $10 more and we love it.  Needless to say I am returning this one
