I have put together a lot of furniture and this by far, takes the cake. By far the worst experience I have ever had putting together a piece of furniture. To say, the instructions are poorly written is an understatement. Not only are they not clear, but there are typos telling you to do things with pieces that you have already used. Then, you have to make new holes, because, either there are no holes to use or they just do not line up. At one point I almost threw it away. That is  how terrible this is. Oh I forgot to mention, there are hole you don't use, so you are not sure if you forgot something. terrible, terrible, terrible!
