My husband and I put this together- when we opened the box, we noticed that one of the pieces of the edges had broken off. I glued it back but it was still very visible. I was ready to ship the whole thing back at that point but was unsure where that one piece would be in the end and if it would be visible so we continued hoping it was a back piece. As we continued the structure was very unstable- we had to put additional screws in to make it strong enough. We continued on because it would have been a huge hassle to send it back. In the end, the pieces that were visible were all in good shape and when complete it ended up looking nice and no one is the wiser now. 

Pros: good value
Cons: some of the materials not high quality,
