I was very happy when I took the parts out of the box. Everything seemed fine and the wood was of better quality than I expected (sometimes you never know on Amazon). But my bad rating is because the side pieces wobbled a little when I put them on and I had to glue one side because it started falling apart. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it because the screws were tight, but it kept swinging and swinging and just wouldn't hold up. So, wood glue and superglue and it's holding up great now. But after losing nearly $70, I expected more, and it looks like I'm not the only reviewer having this issue.
