As the other reviews say, they did not pre-drill holes for the wood screws and the wood screws provided do not hold up.  You need a drill to pre-drill your own holes (this is tricky due to odd angle) and you will need to go buy better wood screws.  I am experienced at furniture assembly but if you are not, get someone to help you and make sure you have a drill/driver.  Love the look but this flaw in assembly is very disappointing.
