I was able to put the item together but was not impressed by the overall build quality. The biggest flaw of the product was in the base, specifically where the legs screw in. Two of the legs had the exact fit, but the retaining preinstalled hardware to catch the remaining two legs were the wrong size and would not engage. I had to take a mallet and chisel to pop out the hardware in the baseboard and use JB-weld to adhere those two remaining legs. So far this modification is working but I expect it to fail with time. I would have given 5 stars if I did not have to do this modification - the QC guy must have been asleep with this unit! The two photos show 1) the pieces I had to remove from the baseboard to complete the build, and 2) the completed build. It is a stylish piece.
