DO NOT ASSEMBLE WITH CHILDREN PRESENT. You may use language you probably don't want them to hear.
2.1 stars for quality.
0.1 stars for ease of assembly.
This thing is flimsy, but adequate for my needs. But assembly is a nightmare. As one reviewer pointed out, "You might as well just go buy the raw materials and design it yourself."
* You will need THREE screwdrivers, not ONE as described (spade, phillips, hex).
* You will need a drill because 16 holes are NOT PRE-DRILLED AT ALL (for casters).
* Many holes that ARE pre-drilled are improperly sized or positioned. Be prepared to do a lot of hammering & cursing to get components fitted together.
* Wood dowels provided are loose and fall out of pre-drilled holes onto the floor during assembly.
Be aware that the instruction manual is provided for amusement only. Instructions are often contradictory or flat wrong.
Language is a laughably quaint approximation of English. Don't waste time trying to read it. Just compare components to the pictures and you'll have to figure out yourself how to put this thing together. Eventually. Allocate about four times the amount of time you'd spend assembling a similar unit from Ikea.
