Read this review for building tips!

Very satisfied! Would buy more πŸ˜€ A few assembly tips for those who are not assembly experts: 1. Use wood glue whenever using wooden pegs. There are guides on how to do this, but I didn't see them until I took the first step (absolutely my fault, but I'm a bit impatient when it comes to things like this). If you look at furniture, the larger holes are for wooden pegs and the smaller holes are for cam screws. It's hard to see it in the directions because the imprint is tiny.2. The cam screws seem to be too big to fit the holes, but once you start screwing them in, they fit the hole snugly. This will chip off some of the veneer, but don't worry, it will be hidden by other furniture and not visible. Lever locks must be pushed in a little. Make sure the plus sign is facing out and try to create a gap on the top of the screw.3. I recommend using an electric drill. I fucked my whole arm and I'm pretty sure my right arm is dead. Using a rubberized oven mitt helped me with this.4. I did the assembly myself but needed someone's help to hold the glass doors in place while I tightened the screws. I found this step the most difficult.5. When installing the back panel, have someone hold it while you screw it on. If you're doing it alone, put something underneath. Have a paper towel handy as it is a bit dusty and sawdust will form when screwing it down. A paper towel will also help if you have wood glue stains. I recommend using a dust spray and Windex on it once it's fully assembled.7. If you're doing this alone without a power tool, take about two hours. Again it is beautiful and I am very happy with my purchase.
