So I grew up around construction and studied to be an engineer and I have to say that an Allen Wrench was the wrong choice for this size furniture. It took me hours to do and it really shouldn't have. It's also not as sturdy as I thought it would be and I honestly believe it has to do with the wrong screws that were used. Too small and short in many of the support areas. I am nervous to lift it in a couple of areas where other furniture would be no problem.
The instructions also say you can't use a drill to put this together...smh like no. Not for this price point. I should be able to do this in a half hour or less with a drill.
I do love the look of it. Clean lines and an interesting Birch color, but the assembly process should have been much more streamlined. The instructions were clear but I think it really has to do with the tools that made this setup difficult.
No to the Allen Wrench
