Absolutely love this.  The box was damaged when it arrived and I contacted Wayfair.  I was sent a replacement immediately and told to donate the first one.  We put it together easily in about 2 leisurely hours and it looks fantastic.  I donated the other to a human trafficking organization and helped put that one together.  Again, no problems at all and it looks amazing.  I think if people have problems with the holes not lining up they have not put it together correctly. Its very well made.
