I would have given this 5 stars because it looks so great once it's been assembled... and I love it in my living room, but it was very difficult to put together.  Don't even think about doing it by yourself.  I thought it would be a slam dunk, but getting everything to line up was horrible.  I've put a lot of furniture together over the years, and this one took my dad and I over 3 hours.  Maybe we just got one where things didn't line up nicely.  I would recommend just for price and looks.
