Bandaids, blood, and beauty. Its really pretty all put together but an absolute nightmare to put together. All in all this took us 2 hours - the last step is the killer. The tiny screws (form own holes) in the corners are awful. No space to turn your screw driver so its a 14 of a turn each time. We committed the capital crime and busted out the electric drill to put them in towards the end as we (my wife and i) no longer have knuckles or arm strength.
