I read a ton of reviews before I bought this and while there always will be some negative ones, I trusted the positive ones. I could not be more pleased! Normally, I have my fiance put together furniture things like this because I do not have the patience or mindset for the confusing directions that usually come in these kits. After reading several reviews, I decided to try to put it together myself. While the directions are subpar, if you study the pictures and follow them exactly, you will breeze right through this! The verbal directions were not great but Im a visual learner so looking at the pictures worked for me. I did not need any extra tools that were not included except a phillips screwdriver. I was able to put it together in about an hour. It looks so great in our farmhouse themed house. We have it placed in our entry way. Some people complain that it is fake wood. As long as you realize that and are okay with it, I would say buy it. Its essentially the same thing as laminate flooring. It looks like real wood until you touch it and you realize its not. I have not put anything heavy on it nor do I intend to so I can not attest to its sturdiness persay but it feels sturdy and solid. I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. It looks phenomenal in our house! As long as you go slow and steady through the directions, you should have no problem building it! If you rush or dont pay attention to some of the unwritten details, you may struggle a bit. I highly recommend this product!
I Absolutely Love This!
