Good value for the price. Assembly tedious but smooth.
After reading other reviews about assembly issues (and having assembed other tedious kit furniture like this), I was prepared for a lot of frustration when receiving this stand, but instead was pleasantly surprised. It went together in little less than 2 hours and I found the instructions clear, all holes where they should be, and no missing parts. Maybe they have made some instruction updates, since they do have some good cut-aways to highlight critical steps.
Tip for future assemblers: Really focus on getting two things to match the instructions to avoid issues with drawers not closing properly:
1. Alignment of the correct screw holes in the cabinet rails. There are a lot of holes in the metal rails and it would be easy to use the wrong ones.
2. Correct front-back orientation of parts 13 and 14... if you get that backwards I imagine the file drawer will permanently stick out like Ive seen in some pictures.
My main gripe: that nasty styrofoam used for packing. (I opened it outside to keep that evil stuff from attaching to everything inside)
