This piece is beautiful. It is however very tedious to assemble. It took 4 hours to assemble. I would recommend putting the pieces in numerical order prior to assembly. That makes the job easier. Also, after assembling, we noticed a small, but noticeable defect in one of the wooden posts. At that point, we just colored it in with a gray marker. We are still trying to adjust the drawers so they close effortlessly, but we haven’t been successful yet. Even with the time and effort it takes to assemble the product, it is well worth it.
