I read the reviews and I agree, this piece is indeed AN ABSOLUTE PAIN to put together. So many pieces and the Alan key it comes with is rubbish, you’ll need a stronger one of your own to complete the build. Also not as sturdy as I would have liked.  I was also fooled by another reviewer’s picture and the rods are not changeable (thus you can’t use it to attach a paper towel). But the colour and wood pattern is gorgeous and is exactly the size I needed. The fact that the rods aren’t black like the handles, is another mind boggling aspect but I plan to stain/paint or replace altogether.
