I bought this 5-shelf version because I bought the 3-shelf version and loved it. The 3-shelf version was extremely easy to assemble. The 5-shelf version, however, requires some screws that the 3-shelf version didnt require, and honestly I thought they had sent the wrong screws because I couldnt get them to go in. My husband had to do it and he was sweating by the end of it. The screws didnt fit well, so he had to power through, and there were fine metal shavings on the floor when he was done. It looks great now that its together and is a great value for the price.
