What feels most important to say about this piece: don't be daunted by other comments about the time needed for putting this together. The manufacturers have worked hard to create a process and instructions that are super clear and straight-forward—ingenious, even. If one enters into the process with a willingness to be patient and take it one step at a time, it can paradoxically go really fast. I was done in less than 45 minutes, after a long day at work. I cried a little when I pulled all the many pieces out of the box, but then just carefully looked through the instructions a few times, staged the pieces well in relationship to one another... and voila. The outcome is cute, durable, and will be a great fit for the needs.
