The instructions are incorrect in a number of places. This is very annoying. I have put together enough furniture to be able to sort out the kinks and put the item together with minor issue but not all DIY’ers are like that. It is a beautiful piece. I don’t like the push pins, I would MUCH PREFER actual hardware to hold the top on. I am not sure what the benefit of using the push pins over bolts is. Assembly took me about an hour by myself.
