I am a handy person. I have built many things from scratch, and assembled countless items. This was literally the worst built and most technical assembly I have ever encountered. Assembly took me no less than 5 hours (had to break it up over a 2 day period out of sheer frustration) and it is not a one person job. It require 3 different Phillips head screw drivers and they should advise using wood glue for all of the dowels. Holes were predrilled improperly and the particle board cracked several times in several different location when applying standard pressure screwing in. If I had used my screw gun I would have destroyed the unit, no question. Now all I am left with is a flimsilly built unit. Every time the floor shakes the entire unit shakes at the joints.
