I bought this as a simple table for my guest bedroom. I didn’t realize, and perhaps I should have paid closer attention to the description, that it was particle board. When I opened the box I was immediately overwhelmed by all the parts. I then tried step one and had issues getting the screws into the board without the board “crumbling” for lack of better term. Thankfully my husband took over and put it together for me or else I would have shipped it back. End product looks nice but not sure how long it will last. I think if it was in a high traffic area it might not last that long.
