Nice Looking Suitable for Purposes in Addition to a . Craftsmanship is Sloppy However
The is a heavy piece of furniture. It weighs in at 70 pounds. The is made from MDF and is painted a dark color.
The parts were well protected in the shipping on by cardboard, Styrofoam and soft liners. Nothing was damaged and nothing was missing. All parts were lettered or numbered in the instructions and on the part itself. Even the spare hardware is marked as spares. Thats incredibly thoughtful. (Thank you !)
Assembly isnt terribly difficult or complex, but it is important to pay close attention as you work simply because of the significant number of steps involved in assembly. Most of the illustrations and accompanying text is clear. However, one or two of the steps gave me pause because they werent entirely clear. The most difficult part of assembly is placing the top on the unit as a number of dowels and screws all have to line up simultaneously. Its a two/person job.
The machining work is far from perfect. I wish that companies that sell products would insist on better quality control from their suppliers. Some of the holes were drilled in a very sloppy manner with wood fragments left over from the drilled areas. Some holes were not completely drilled and some were not drilled at all//especially on the back. One of the dowels would not go all the way in because the hole for the dowel wasnt drilled deeply enough. This is sloppy craftsmanship. It caused my review to be reduced by a star.
Happily most of the flaws did not show after the assembly had been completed. What we did have is a nice looking that is suitable for more than watching. In fact, the assembled unit looked so nice that we decided to place our in our master bedroom and use it for our knickknacks and the books that we keep in our bedroom.
