The directions were insufficient.  I love the piece and it is perfect for what I want it for but even though I counted and checked off every screw and part before trying to put it together, and even though I laid everything I. Order, there is one part keeping me from finishing.  I’m no novice to putting things together and enlisted my best friend who must have had 12 things to assemble in her new apartment.  We were stumped.  I will need to get help to complete it  but I love the size and the look.  I was surprised to learn there is no backing on it.  Knowing all that, I might have ordered something different but this look suits the space best. I am a die-hard aficionado of this company.
