Despite the manufacturer’s best attempts, I was able to build this shelf. I’ve noticed many other reviews commenting on vague instructions, but that wasn’t my issue. 

The inside of both my 2 pieces and my 3 and 4 pieces had seams on the interior (see image) that caused difficulty with inserting the 9 pieces. I had to use a hammer and my full body weight to get the parts in place. 

The coating on the metal was chipped in several places, and the plastic around the foot was flaky and poorly attached. (See image.) Several bolts were mismatched in design despite being marked and packaged as the same (Guess where you’ll see evidence of this.)

Overall this product is poorly made and the assembly process suffers from it. The shelf does look good, but I am unable to give more than one star to the hot mess that was delivered to me.
