I would have given this 5 stars had the Allen wrench been completely inadequate to put this thing together. With a bruised palm, I can say, this was a bit more of a physical challenge to put together than other items have have put together in the past. With one of the bolt’s heads becoming completely stripped, I wound up using my own wood screws to finish assembling this item. I do like the way it looks, and it is sturdy… just wish it wasn’t a bear to put together.
