I bought 2 of these side tables and attempted  to assemble one myself, and although the instructions sound simple, arranging the 3 pieces with only a single  dowel holding them in place,  and then  trying to attach the top before  screwing it all together,  was nothing  but frustrating. Every time I I put pressure, the sides fell off. I am waiting for another set of hands to help hold the pieces as they are screwed together.  I cant give a final  review  on the assembled piece,as I have yet to get it together.  It sits on the floor in pieces at the moment.
