The final product is very nice and looks to be a nice solid piece. .  The assembly instructions could have been clearer with respect to a bit more labeling for the minor bits a pieces.  This would have made the process of putting things together a bit smoother.  The one problem that I ran into was that the top was about an  1/8th of an inch too long.  I managed to get it to fit by loosening the end pieces to get the top to go into place and then retightening screws.
