i read the reviews before i purchased ... saying it doesn’t line up and people had issues but i just loved the design n decided to give it a go. All i can say is thanks for the heads up. i took my time n asked my husband to help hold things up while i bolted things together. some of the screws didn’t want to go all the way through the legs metal so i just made sure i screwed it into each leg first without attaching to anything just to make sure things are aligned then unscrewed and actually screwed it to the correct opening. DO NOT tighten things until u have completed the setup. that is KEY. my husband helped me squeeze and nudge things into place and if i would have tightened everything it wouldn’t have giving me any wiggle room. we put it together rather quickly and it came out just like the picture. we love it and get so many compliments. .
