The assembly of this piece. Oh my word! Nightmare. If you are assembling this piece on your own, it can take a long time, just be warned. I've bought other pieces of furniture from this collection that were so easy to assemble, a monkey could do it in 10 mins... Not this piece. However, after many hours and backaches, it's finally together. And I like it. I like that it's unfinished so I can paint it however I like. But honestly, it's so pretty just the way it is, I'm not sure that I will paint it afterall.
