Update: I chose to return the hall tree rather than risk losing out on the warranty by trying to fix it myself.
Original review:
Im writing this review at the tail end of the assembly process.
As shown in the attached photo, the provided screws are not long enough to go through the first piece of wood, let alone attach it to the second. And thats far from the worst design failure in this piece of furniture -- the entire backing attachment mechanism (screwing large plywood sheets with tiny screws to undrilled plywood strips) is beyond absurd. s website isnt helpful, returning an error when clicking through to the product manual (which I was hoping had some updated information).
This hall tree is large and heavy, making it a real hassle to return, so Im undecided on whether to break out my drill and pull some other fasteners out of my parts bin to attempt to make it work or just give up and send it back. Ill update my review once Im able to come to a conclusion, one way or another.
Impossible to assemble with provided parts
