When I saw the number of pieces that came in the box, I was very concerned about assembling this item. My concerns were quickly dissolved as the easy to read and very thorough instructions guided me through the assembly. Be careful when installing piece “E” t that it is placed in the correct direction. Even though the instructions had the picture displaying the direction of the piece, I didn’t pay enough attention.  I’m very happy with the end result and pleased that I was able to complete this myself.
