This was probably one of the top 10 worst pieces of furniture to put together in my whole life. It has approximately 1,000,000 pieces. It takes forever. I spent 2 hours putting it together before I had to take a break and come back to it for another hour. I consider myself average-above average handiness, and this really stretched my patience. There were a couple of instances where the directions were incorrect andor there weren’t pilot holes where there was supposed to be. Overall, the piece looks fine in my space. I don’t like the look or feel of the stool, so I will be replacing it. The mirror is very nice and I like the lighting. But, unless you have the skills and patience to put this thing together for 3 hours, either pay someone or find another piece of furniture.
