two stars for this reason- it scratches SOO easy. it requires to be put together on the floor. my floor was clean as a whistle, brand new vinyl flooring. after lifting it up from its side from doing the first half of the installation, we noticed the whole side has several scratches, very noticeable on black. extremely saddened. also- it was ridiculous to put together because the dowels were so loose and falling our every second. my experience with dowels is that they are snug enough so that they don’t fall out. my husband and i are not newbies to putting things together as most of our furniture we took this route. but this was probably the hardest thing we put together, not user friendly.
