This thing was a monster to put together. It looks nice once it’s done but the instructions are horrendous and the drawer mechanism is difficult to understand. We are not novices to the "assembly required” type furniture, but this one was especially difficult, and the poor directions didn’t help. Otherwise, I would have given it a much higher rating because it does look nice once it’s done. But for the rest of the time I own this piece, every time I look at it I will remember pulling our hair out with the assembly.
