It's incredibly difficult to put together.  It was a tiring and horrible experience to bring this furniture together. When I opened to assemble, I was so surprised by how many scars and defects this furniture came with (see the pictures).  The assembly manual is so vague and deceptive. And some of the screws don't hold in and just keep spinning around. After several hours of work, we fixed the TV stand and was about to put the TV on, noticing that the top section was mixed in the back and front.  Wouldn't it kill these people with only a few damn words like front/back near the images???  I would not recommend this.
