It was a bit pricey for something I had to assemble. If youre not careful, you can also miss the direction booklet as you unpack the parts.
This one had several scratches in the plastic coating that you peel off, luckily I was able to buff them out. The packing wasnt damaged enough to explain the scratches so it happened as it was packaged at the factory. There are also small chips out of the black coating on the edges, again no package damage. (Luckily these could not be seen after assembly). Poor quality control.
The hardware is cheap. Ive assembled furniture with this type of connectors before. Good ones work really well. These, not so much. You can tighten them until you think they will break and they still come loose. I put glue on all the dowels as I assembled it, the directions dont mention this. I guess if they did, theyd have to supply the glue. (If you do glue them, make sure youre putting it together correctly!)
It is sturdy enough after I let it sit overnight and the glue on the dowels dried. Just dont drag it sideways too much. Theres not much holding those end pieces straight up and down. They will tilt out. I added a small piece of wire (used for hanging pictures) from the bottom rear of the outside pieces across to the bottom rear of the drawers. I made it fairly tight and screwed it into place. The outside legs now will not move out because of the wire and will not move in if the glass is in place.
The instruction are OK, you really have to pay attention to them as you assemble it, it can be done wrong.
The LED remote takes a bit of a learning curve, there are no real directions on how to operate it. Luckily it is a pretty common one for these types of lights, I have a couple like this already. Just play with it, youll figure it out.
Overall we like the way it looks. It should cost less, in my opinion.
Its ok.
