Although once I got it assembled it looked ok- I will tell you for something with 7 pieces , instead of taking 5 minutes it took 25. You have to think about who you are buying this for- an older person, a kid going off to school thats not handy etc. The wood pieces are finished alright and the holes dont line up so you have to fuddle around with everything and in my case, remove one of the wooden dowels to actually make the thing line up. Tolerances are not great here. WE can assume this is not a six sigma manufacturing facility and you need pliers and a small hammer to knock things into place,. The allen key and the 8 screws are not enough to make it work. Can never get a five because its too much of a pain to assemble and the finish is like a 4- they chinz out on finishing both sides of things but what can you expect for $35
Not machined great way too much time to assemble
