While the piece arrived in good condition, it was a total bear to put together. For a relative small piece of furniture, one would think they were building a bridge. Far to many pieces of unnecessary hardware and the instructions far to vague to be useful. One is instructed to use glue inserting pegs into various holes, the problem is if you get the pegs in wrong they can't be removed without breaking the peg. It took me literally all afternoon to put this piece together. If you value your time, don't buy this item.
