Love the set but the pilot holes for the wood screws in the side arm panels were not deep enough and the screws got so hard to screw in that the Allen head on one of the screws got stripped while trying to screw all the way in.  I had to use pliers to get it in almost all the way.  It is still a little loose but the back panel held it tight when those screws were in.  The instructions are really terrible and they should have sent a couple of extra screws in case they stripped.  It is really beautiful, comfortable and sturdy though.
