The quality of this is shameful! And, I was not expecting a lot with the price. It is very difficult to put together partly because of number of pieces and poor design, but the instructions are very poor.  Some diagrams are so light you cannot tell what you are suppose to do!  I have put together lots and lots of furniture and have never encountered the challenges I had with this piece of furniture.  

If it was not such a hassle would return for a refund...
