I was excited to get this because of the many positive reviews but encountered a few issues. 1) It's made of particle board and some of the pieces were damaged during shipping, and flaking off  2) It took a very long time and patience for even a seasoned handyman to put together 3) There were at least 2 instances of wrong instructions and a missing piece. Given what a nightmare if would be to return it, we just used some spackle and made some adjustments with extra wood, then colored the spots in (5 or 6) w/black furniture marker.
