This is a great looking piece. It is over 100lbs so be aware when getting it into the house. Once inside I removed the pieces and grouped them. This says two people to assemble and while that would be easier, I only have me. I was able to do it alone.
That all said, the instructions are pretty bad. They cant seem to figure out how to label which side of a piece should go upright. So you find yourself double guessing. In the middle, the two small pieces the instructions are backwards. Make sure the rear slot for the bank oars is exposed, flip the two center pieces. Then apparently they got another piece backwards on step 4, the center piece going left to right dead center of lower end, mine when following directions has the unfinished edge out, since its step 4 and I just completed it after two plus hours, there is no way I would trust the hardware to come apart and then reconnect and be strong. So I am stuck with an unfinished edge sticking out. Fortunately I can hide it by putting both doors over the center. Still tho, learn from me. They should put decals on either side so they can say A side up, or arrows even. This side points forward. It sucks because this could be aming looking and now it just isnt. Im not about to disassemble it tho. Maybe I can find something to cover that edge.
Its nice, heavy and nice together, sturdy
