This manufacturers choice of mechanical fasteners and wood panel strength and quality results in a poor piece of furniture. Tightening the fasteners, even when using extreme care, caused the wood panels crack and break through panel surface. During my assembly, nearly every fastener created a bulge, crack or broke through the panel finish. The wood panels are not strong enough for this application. In addition, the instructions did not include enough written detail: the drawings were good but the how to was not there.
