This piece is beautiful and quality is great for the price, hence the 5 stars. HOWEVER, two things that should be noted. Firstly, the box is full of small pieces of foam that gets literally everywhere as you are taking the pieces out of the box. I think I will be cleaning small pieces of foam in my apartment for weeks. I was very irritated by this. Secondly, it took me about 5 or 6 hours to assemble... I am a single female and the instructions says two people needed for assembly but come on, many people live alone so 2 people is not always realistic if you want it done now. I was able to do it by myself but had to get creative on some steps. Hopefully the manufacturer takes note and finds a way to eliminate (or greatly reduce) the small foam particles and also comes up with a way for one person to put together this piece comfortably.
