We received the TV stand right on time in perfect condition and began assembling it almost immediately the first step was a little confusing about the wooden pegs. When we put it together we had a gap. Took it apart and redid the pegs and tried again still had the gap. It was decided to proceed with the gap and continue. The second piece had the same problem but when I used a small hammer on the wooden pegs to set them all the way everything then fell in place and the assembly continued with little effort. It is now complete and we are very pleased with the product.
