To begin, I've assembled more pieces of furnite than I can count and I have never come across more poorly designed instructions. When you do figure out directions the poor quality of the material makes building a challenge because you have to treat it so gently to avoid any damage to it's MDF body. The post was very misleading, the piece is purely MDF with wood legs. No part of the actual piece of furniture itself is made of real wood. To make matters worse, it is poor quality MDF. We bought this piece because of the long wait at most furniture stores, but for the price to quality ratio it was a terrible investment. I'm extremely disappointed. DO NOT BUY!
