It's a great looking piece of furniture - I've only just put it together so I can't comment on it's longjevity. However, what really impressed me was the ease of construction. Not only are the instructions clear & comprehensive, all the parts were clearly and helpfully labeled, a spare screw from each size had been included as had a small screwdriver. The attention to detail & quality really impressed me - and believe me when I say this - I've built a lot of flatpack and this was exceptional.
