I have been putting this together for the past 5 hours and I'm only a little over half way done. There is a large bag of screws and pieces the don't exactly match up to the peace list so you have to basically give it your best guess as to which screws the instructions are talking about. I had to use a clamp to hold some of the pieces together just so I could screw them together without them falling apart. I was just trying to screw the copper rail into the bottom when I realized none of the screws fit. It's still in pieces on my living room floor and I've given up on it. It may be beautiful when it's put together but the assembly is absurd.
