This was one of the hardest things I ever put together. The holes for the screws do not align and the pieces do not fit together properly. Due to this when the screws and nuts are together the pieces do not fit into one another properly. It is almost impossible to put together alone. I would never recommend this frustrating piece. Some of the screws were placed in the holes and then the pieces were painted. Problem is you have to take the screws out of the holes to put it together. Almost stripped the screws trying to take them out for assembly. Poorly engineered and very frustrating.
