The furniture itself is fine. All furniture has a break in period. It was the assembly that lost it a star. I didnât mind having the drive the screws for the feet myself, I would have preferred some predriled starting holes, not hard to do in a factory. The big bad was the way the extension on the back goes together. Itâs a weird sliding mechanism that if not aligned properly tears the extension. Please have another person hold back the excess to make sure you can see you are properly aligned.
