Assembly so frustrating it made me write my first review
This is the worst particle board furniture I've ever assembled. It looks great, but good luck putting it together.
The instructions are fairly straight forward and get the job done. From there it goes down hill.
The included screws will strip if you look at them the wrong way. I used a regular screwdriver to assemble everything and stripped almost every screw, the bolts requiring allen wrenches weren't as bad at least.
I had to use a drill on every pilot hole. None of them were pre-drilled very far, and the doors were the worst. The pilot holes for the hinges and magnetic latch might have been one mm deep at best.
Speaking of doors, good luck lining them up to close properly. The hinges had a a horizontal line to insert the screws and allow adjustment. Unfortunately the line was too small so every time you turn a screw it pulls it away from the door and throws the alignment off. It also damaged the threads in the process, but luckily they included a single spare screw that fit. I spent more time fixing the doors than all the other steps combined.
Buy something else and avoid this like the plague. If it weren't such a hassle to return I'd have requested a refund.
