Put your power tool belts on! 4 stars only because it’s so affordable and ultimately cute, but just be prepared for a challenge! It is NOT easy to put together. I read the reviews of other people saying that and I shrugged it off, thinking to myself that I could totally handle it because of how many pieces of IKEA furniture I have under my belt and that the reviewers before me must be fussy wimps. Oh boy - big surprise! This is like leveling up in difficulty from a little street fight with IKEA to a minor boss battle (that maybe you didn’t fully upgrade for yet). Sure, I got it done, so it’s not ”impossible”, but man did I want to give up. I put it together myself, but definitely needed the help of a power tool to do it (screwing it all together by hand would be an ordeal). And heads up! There are no pre-drilled holes to attach the top and bottom pieces so I drilled holes for the first time in my life! It’s kind of together now, but pretty wobbly, because one of the screws just wouldn’t tighten and I ended up stripping it so bad that I couldn’t get it in any further or out again.
Cute! But challenging to assemble
