This piece arrived ahead of schedule which is always a bonus. Got it for one of my grandsons room, and he put it together without much effort. Since the poor kid is raised in a house full of women we have nagged him to death TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST, which he did. This is quite the triumph as most of us have dealt with those who randomly put things together, since any idiot could do it. Who dont need instructions etc, then, they are completely baffled as to what the leftover parts are for, then insist the manufacturer is being proactively generous in providing spare parts. Such is life.
