The white styrofoam that secured the parts were all over the place. It actually took me 20-30 minutes to brush the lint type foam off every piece. It took me 5hrs and 20 minutes to finish assembling. The assembly was straight forward. However, there was a diagram that failed to show the way one of the pieces are supposed to be installed. Of course, it was not until I was about to finish when I realize that particular part was installed backwards. The credenza looks beautiful but if moved, it will fall apart. The top piece is so heavy, I don’t think the the bottom parts will support it. Just don’t move it and let it look pretty.
