We just got this and built it. So these are our first impressions
1. Looks well made, all wood pieces were solid wood.
2. Instructions were clear. It took us - 2 people - little over 3 hours to build and clean afterwards.
3. Hardware came with spare pieces which was nice.
4. All the boxes were labeled outside so you can open them in the order needed.
So far we are impressed and happy with the purchase.
