Assembly was kind of a nightmare. The directions claim you need two people and 30 minutes ha! We had three people and it took about two hours. Like many others mention, its the nasty little side pieces (time three sides!) that dont fit the holes properly. We used toothpicks to hold them in place until everything was bolted and screwed together. Even then, we had to put stuff together 2/3 times because it would fall apart. Its a nice enough item once built, but not for the easily frustrated. We almost gave up to go buy something better made and try to ship this back.
terrible to assemble
