Many of the reviews say it's difficult to assemble and that the pieces/holes didn't match up well. Did anyone have a decent experience?

We didn't have a problem it took a little while but we actually bought a second one. It's great quality for the price and it doesn't slam down on little ones fingers.

I bought this about a year ago and it still isn't put together. Some of the "screw" type things were broken and I have not been able to locate ones of this size. It is a good quality but I feel that it is a crap shoot on whether or not you get the pieces you need.

Worked fine with me...only problem was installing the small internal brackets at the bottom of the box...holes did not line up very well but I just used self tapping screws creating my own holes...Quality of box is good well worth the extra effort for the price.

I didn't recommend the piece in my feedback so am reluctant to answer your question. The holes provided were poorly placed and did not correspond with the holes in the pieces that were to them. In order to complete the project, I had to do a lot of manipulations of my own. By the time I discovered the problem pieces I was so far into the project it would have been more trouble to disassemble it and return it. I am experienced when it comes to furniture assembly. You'll find similar feedback from at least one other buyer.

Unfortunately not, I had someone help me put it together. Only downfall with this product but it was all worth the hazzle.

It wasn't bad...my 19 year old daughter and I assembled it together...it did take us longer than what others had mentioned on here. I did have to ask my husband once or twice which way some pieces went. :0)

I had no problem assembling it, anytime you have metal that has bends in it you sometimes have to put a little pressure on them to get the pieces to slip in together. My total time was about 15 minutes to assemble

We had difficulty putting this item together because the holes were not drilled properly. I wouldn't buy this item. You can find similar items at the office supply stores for less money.

i had problems also so i went to look at picture on line and was able to put it together. the picture shows clearly the process just by looking at pieces. i believe i had to remove a piece from the garmen. good luck it really was easy! works great!

Haven't dissembled it yet, but it was a pain in the ass (requiring two people) to assemble. If it has to be dissembled, I would recommend taking apart as little as possible.

My BF and I assembled it, and we used the tools provided. The only other item you might want is the WD-40 that most other people seem to recommend. We didn't have any around the house so we didn't use any while putting everything together. It seems like a million pieces when you open the box and spread the contents on the floor, but if you follow the directions and look at the pictures you should be able to figure it out. Be prepared to spend about 2-3 hours assembling it. There were a few hiccups along the way trying to get some parts to fit together, but we figured it out.

It's not to bad. laying out all the hardware and pieces first to get an idea where everything go's is a good idea. The instructions aren't very good but you'll get the basic idea on how they want it assembled. An electric screw driver is very handy.

The instructions came in the box. They weren't very good. I got more help looking at a picture of the finished product. I'll say it wasn't to hard to put together, it took about an hour or so. There was one leg that wouldn't take its screws, and it was a little bit of work to muscle it into shape around the top.

The biggest problem that I had was the directions were not real clear as far as which holes and which screws and nuts went where. Also, not all the holes lined up which also made it a pain to assemble. But after we got it all together, my boys love putting all their baseball stuff in it! Hope this helps!

Yes, and it wasn't terribly difficult but I have to admit, I felt the price I paid for this vs. what I received is not worth it. I could have found something made of a sturdy metal for the same price if I shopped right. I had already put it together, had second thoughts, but didn't want to deal with taking it apart and finding a new box to ship it back. Wasn't worth the price in my opinion!!!

We assembled it together slowly. Keep looking at the picture on the box along with the instructions. It helped my husband if I held some pieces for him, but we got it. We just went slow. It's was worth the trouble to me and I love it.

Mine must have been flawed because I never got it together well enough to use it. I worked on it for days. I'm pretty handy and just couldn't make it work. I liked the way it looked but it swayed and rattled and I felt it was dangerous. I finally returned it. it is really pretty though.

It's nowhere close to being assembled. It's a great piece for the money, but it takes about an hour to assemble and that's someone with experience assembling things with a power screwdriver. I love mine !! So worth it!!

It did not come assembled, but i didn't have any problems getting it together either. I just followed the directions step by step.
