First off, the final piece is fine. It’s comfortable, functional, and attractive. The issue we have with this piece is how poorly the individual components were made. Assembling this was a nightmare. None of the holes were correctly aligned with their counterparts resulting in easily stripped screws, absurd tensions on the pieces you are trying to connect, and far more effort than it is worth to put this together. Our experience was so bad we will literally never buy anything else from Wade Logan for fear of a repeat experience. If you feel you must have this, I would recommend paying for assembly or hiring a handyman. It can be done, but it is a total pain.
