I put this sideboard together yesterday and I like it very much. It looks great and is sturdy. Im a 5ft tall female in my 40s and I put this together by myself. There were a few steps that would have been helpful to have the order in which to connect the pieces/hardware, so I did have to take a couple pieces back off and add something I didnt add in the right order but once I understood what I did wrong, the directions made sense. No problem removing bolts that I needed to in order to correct it. Highly recommend reading thru directions (pictures only) to make sure you understand the order of things before assembling. It will save you a little time. But even with having to back up, I had it together in 3 hrs. I would buy this again. (Also, 4 of the wooden pegs broke, but there were plenty of extras included. Be prepared to fish the broken pieces out of the holes that are drilled for them if this happens to you. I was able to get 3 of them out easily, but 1 I had to drill a spare screw into to have a handle by which to pull it out of the hole.)
Ive just unpacked all the parts and went thru it. It was packaged VERY well! I was impressed and Im picky about packaging. All but 2 pieces were numbered and those were easy to distinguish. (The numbers are little stickers that are designed to easily come off, so the two missing are likely just stuck to the packaging somewhere.) All parts are included...nothing missing and there was ZERO damage. I didnt find one scratch. I will update once I have time to assemble it, although ease of assembly is quite subjective to the assembler.
Updated - So far so good!
