I mean, its not terrible. The low price almost makes up for the horrible engineering, so I gave it the mediocre rating that comes on the right side of that equation.
The directions do not tell you to put the spacers in. So when you think you have finished assembling, you look on your work bench and find 8 leftover spacers. So you have to take it apart to put them in. That would not be a big deal, BUT
The screws can NOT be removed and then reinstalled. Somehow, when you reverse them out, they rip out all of the wood inside the holes. Dont ask me how, or whythey just do. The only thing I could do was drill new pilot holes, and use decking screws. That makes it a little off center, which would upset me a lot of I had spent more than the 50 bones I spent on this piece. But, given how cheap it was, Ill get over it.
Horrible engineering, terrible assembly directions. But, its a cheap/o product so
meh. 3 stars. Its an accurate rating, given the pros and cons. Thought it was bigger.
It doesnt suck
