Difficult to put together & black rubs off easily. I know, you're like me and you'll read this thinking you're better at putting things together than most people and you won't have an issue. My husband and I have assembled almost every piece of furniture in our two-story home and this one takes the cake for most difficult. I wanted to rage quit a few times. Once we got done assembling, the corners and edges of the black pieces had rubbed off to reveal the particle board underneath. WE COLORED IT IN WITH A BLACK SHARPIE.
