I dont normally leave reviews (this literally might be my first review), but wanted to offer some insight for people looking to buy this item. I have assembled all of the furniture in my apartment, so I am not a stranger to assembling furniture. I typically ignore reviews that complain about assembly just because it can be a big task for people not used to doing it. But this piece is an exception:
- Holes are not all located where they ought to be to fit together, so youre stuck having to try and make your own holes or drill a screw in at an angle
- Some holes were too large for the pieces that needed to fit in them so they were not snug
- The backside has no pre-drilled holes so the 20 or so screws you need to drill in to hold up the back panel, so all holes need to be started with a hammer and nail
- And finally...I got to the very last door and the part where the bracket hinge piece fits into the door isnt wide enough for the bracket, so somehow Im going to have to saw 1/2 inch into the edge (somehow without cracking it all open) to fit the bracket.
Would recommend looking elsewhere for something similar.
