It is definitely a beautiful piece of furniture. I am less than thrilled with the instructions provided for the assembly. Each section for the assembly provides pictures (no words) and it is often unclear which step comes before the next. I have assembled many items from other manufacturers over the years and they offered much clearer guidance in the instructions. As I was working on this I was thinking someone who did not know how these assemblies worked would be even more confused than I was. My last frustration was the lack of predrilled holes for the attachment of the hinges on the doors. With better instructions I would definitely give this item five stars.
