Despite what some of the other reviews say, was easy to put together, and went together perfectly.I waited to put the black plastic caps over the screw holes until I could give it a few days and re-tighten the screws, and in fact the instructions do recommend this. I love the way it  looks. I wouldn't mind it being a few inches taller, but it is tall enough.

I would recommend this piece. Follow the directions and you will be fine.
