The item came damaged and I was sent a replacement which was damaged as well but not as bad as the first one. The problem, we think is in the packaging because same piece broken in the first delivery was broken in the second delivery, but was salvageable. I used the handy man assembly service. He did ask if I wanted to send it back, but I opted to keep it since he said it could be repaired. For this reason, I would not recommend this item.
