The Good:  the end result is a beautiful and sturdy set of furniture.  The Bad:  The diagrams and directions could be broken down to more steps and be more discernible and easier to follow.  The Unbearable:  Pieces did not line up.  Wood screws and a regular philips screwdriver that the instructions said would do the job did not work for me.  I had to pre-drill holes and use a power-drill to protect my elbow from injury.  I have put together AT LEAST twenty pieces of this kind of furniture in my lifetime.  I have made furniture before.  Also, I am very physically fit for being over 50, and yet I had a hard time and had to be creative to put this together.  If I made the choice again, I would NOT go through the toil and trouble to buy and complete this again.  In this case, the Good does not overcome the Bad and Unbearable.  The only reason I gave it 3 stars is the beauty of the end result.
