Putting this tv stand together was a nightmare!  There's no written instructions, only drawings.  It took me six hours to put it together and I'm 74!  Crawling around the floor for six hours was not pleasant and I suffered the next day.  Even the drawings were not easy to figure out.  I had to put it together and take it apart many times.  When all was said and done we do like the piece and it was just what we were looking for.
