The assembly instructions are a joke. You need two people to hold all the random pieces while someone screws things together. Also remember you need to screw wood beam and TWO of the metal pieces together...we had to redo this 3x because the instructions weren't clear. Once it got together it was fine and does it's job but it's not super high quality. I just needed some kind of smaller table in the kitchen while I cook so my baby has somewhere to sit so I can watch him.
