Putting it together wasnt difficult however, the instructions are horrible.  I purchased this because I wanted something cheep for my apartment that would last a few years while Im in that stage of my life.  Without a doubt, this is the worst piece of furniture Ive ever bought. The unit wobbles and is anything but sturdy.  It does look good.  The metal Camlocks dont hold the pieces together well enough and the two part back board adds to the wobble.  Id return it if I hadnt already invested so much time in it.
