Well I finally got my product to fit perfectly into our living room nook matching well with our midcentury modern theme and color scheme.  But upon putting this together, boy was it tough.  My 12 year old usually breezes thru these types of assemblies, but she and I both became frustrated at the point of placing barrel nut and leg spacers.  I was not able to fit this piece in flush with prefabricated wooden spacer.  I eventually gave up and have not even opened the other box as I ordered 2 of these.  So worried I will not be able to get them together, but will employ hubbie and friends to figure it out.  Hoping for the best.
