This piece is chic and expensive looking. I absolutely love it. But it is complicated to put together, lots of pieces, 11 pages of instructions, all pieces well marked though. Recommend a drill. Without my boyfriend's help (who is particularly good at logistics)I would have given up on it. Took us about 2 hours with no mistakes. The one real complaint is that the partical board that makes up the bottom piece is very fragile. The leg broke off twice when we were moving it with very little pressure. We had to just keep drilling new holes. At the end of the day though, I just love it. Expecially for the price. It looks like a piece you could buy at *** for a thousand dollars.
