A quality piece of furniture but 4 stars because of assembly trouble.
It makes a nice bit of furniture, but it is a bugger to put together. The hardest part and most time consuming is getting the bolts to line up with the round
drop-in nuts. There is no way to hold the round nuts that drop or slide into holes in the wood frame so you can align the bolts to screw into them. After much bad language on my part my genius wife went to the kitchen and returned with a chopstick to place through the bolt hole and nut to align the nut with the hole the bolt goes through. Then with more bad language the bolt would finally screw into the nut after the chop stick was carefully removed. ***Be sure to remove the saw dust from all the pre-drilled nut holes BEFORE inserting the round nut. When it is finally put together it is a quality piece of furniture.
