Several pieces in my kit were mislabeled or not labeled at all and the directions aren't very good so putting it together took a while and it was frustrating trying to find the right pieces and get them in the correct orientation. I would suggest laying things out and everything before you start assembling. Also a wooden dowel (not even a screw)  that helps hold the writing surface to the drawer frames poked right through the writing surface during assembly! I'm so frustrated. I never pounded or roughly put any of it together and now there is a big hole in the white portion of the surface! I'm so mad. I hope the rest of it holds up better than that part did!
