So tedious to put together!!!  I have ordered and assembled a lot of furniture over the years and this was my most frustrating piece.  The steps themselves weren't hard, it just had a lot of bits and pieces to assemble.  On top of that the quality is lacking, I was trying to not screw things in too tight as the particle board would start to chip off.  Assembled it seems to be sturdy enough.  I am also a little disappointed in the finish, looks a bit cheap to me.  Not quite up to my expectations for the price...  Maybe if it was only $200...
