I'm giving this 4 stars because the final product is great and exactly what I wanted. However, the packaging and assembly were awful. The instructions are clear in regards to which labeled part attaches to another, but none of the parts were actually labeled! I paid extra special attention to the details of the drawings in the instructions in order to identify the correct part. Also, all of the screws and connecting parts were mixed together in a giant bag so searching for whichever screw or piece I needed took a lot of time and extra effort. Finally, there were a lot of areas that did not have premade holes or spaces for the screw so a drill is definitely necessary. Assembly of this item really should have taken less than an hour but because of the issues listed above it took over 2.5 hours. However, once it was finally finished it looked great and served its purpose.
