We have had this product for approx. 1 month and are very happy with it. The assembly instructions were really quite thorough (especially if they are read) but it would be nice if the arrows showing which was the difference pieces are supposed to go were larger/in bolder print (guess who didn't see them)! Would have to say that we weren't tickled about the price but upon putting it together, believe it was worth it. Love to have other like pieces but will have to save our pennies for awhile first.
