The piece is great with a few flaws. First you can do it alone but to not take forever you really need 2 people. In addition some of the directions are unclear. And finally on several pieces there were no pre-drilled holes so that made a difficult build even harder. But overall I do like the finished product, though Ill likely purchase my own stool (thats one of the pieces without pre-drilled holes and it far doesnt feel sturdy.)
