This is a beautiful piece of furniture! I think that the flaw is that the steps on the instruction manual could be listed better because they literally have you put the bottom piece on last.. it isnt just two pieces of top and bottom. Its actually the basethe riser, then the middle section is the cupboards and drawers and the top is the back wall with the glass cabinets. So its a real simple fix on the suppliers end to do because you can attach the base while youre working on the middle section BEFORE attaching it to the top. Its really a simple fix. But in my opinion, I would not take a star away from it because of that because I still absolutely LOVE it. It was worth the hassle 100. It took us 3 hours to build and it definitely is a two man job. Excuse the boxes in my photo, we just moved into our place, so we are in the process of sorting. But DEFINITELY BUY IT!
