Very unique and we love it. We read mixed reviews on assembly - some people say it’s simple and others say the holes aren’t predrilled properly and it doesn’t assemble. We took a chance and initially had the same issue with the holes not being pre drilled in the correct place to put on the backboards. However after studying it, we realized that board 10 (one of the first ones you assemble) needed to be rotated 180° from the way we had initially placed it. The instructions have dotted lines showing the holes but don’t explain to make sure to place them so the same distance on each side of the hole (one side is 10” and the other side is 14”) is the same for all boards. It’s possible to reverse board 10 and the holes don’t line up therefore making everything out of alignment.
