This is a beautiful sideboard but it takes patience to put it together.  My advice is to take a piece of masking tape and label each board after you get through putting the accessories around it, this way it makes it easier to built it.  Be aware ALL THE OUTSIDE BOARD EXCEPT FOR THE BOTTOM BOARD , THE BAD SIDE FACES TOWARDS YOU, the inside boards , the white finish faces you.  It all makes sense after while.   I installed additional shelves inside.  Don’t hesitate to buy.  I’m a woman and I was able to put it together and install additional shelves by myself.
