For a newbie at assembly,  this was a bit if a challenge.  Be sure to look at all the holes prior to screwing them in, make sure the Ratan material is not partially covering holes.  If it is, push it back with the attached Allen wrench. Awkward assembly and if you screw even one too tight then the furniture is off balance. No matter how much I readjusted, 3 pieces of furniture are off balanced and require me placing something under each leg to even it out. User error...??  Note, it's small.  I would not purchase again.
