Based on all the positive reviews, I was surprised at how indifferent I feel about this piece. It feels a little flimsy. I will agree with everyone who said it takes HOURS to put together. I'm a very handy person, and it took me at least 3 1/2 hours to assemble. Read carefully, too, because each "step" has about 10-15 different steps within that. Be careful not to miss something, there are so many little parts.
