In the vast landscape of assemble it yourself furniture, this piece challenged my adequate handyman skills and so I called in reinforcements to help me finish the journey. This piece is best built with a friend, loved one, or someone you don't mind yelling at only to make up with over your favorite adult beverage later. It looks beautiful and is a daily reminder of my lack of patience in furniture assembly, which keeps me humble. I think that's called a win/win.
