The directions to assemble this furniture is horrendous. It took my boyfriend and I 5 hours to assemble this. There aren't any words for assembling, only diagrams that are small. Many of the parts/screws were mislabelled and caused more confusion. The diagram for assembling also contains inaccuracies causing us to freehand some parts. Not all of the holes are pre-drilled, so make sure you have an electric drill. Would not buy again.
