did anyone else find they had to either remove or hammer in the wooden dowels that are sticking out of some of the pieces?

I didn't have any problems putting it together. Followed the directions and had it done in about 2 hours. The cabinet looks very nice and am using it as a printer stand, would definetly buy more from this company in the future.

If I remember right, I think I had to screw the legs on and also attach the doors. I love the piece, I have it in my kitchen.

I used an electric screwdriver...it was very easy to put together. All the screws from with it & the holes are already in the wood.

I had the same issue, but I don't remember how I eventually got them out. See if there is something that needs to be pushed up on the bottom or if the drawer needs to be raised up to be taken out. There was a trick to it--I remember that.

good luck cause I couldn't get replacement for mine either. I e-mailed the manufacturer and they never responded. Amazon gave me some credit and we just are making do with it since I still have most of the pieces. Looks like you can get someone to make something out of wood tho if you know a carpenter. Bad deal for these things!

we used the side of a hammer to pound it in. I had my son and daughter help hold parts together.

i had none. they were screwed in to mahogany. i can t see any problem with a hard wood. if using pine posts you might consider bolts instead of lag screws

Yes, it is a separate wood dowel and Wooden hub as well. These are strictly decorative and have no structural capacity that I would count on.

It is a wood dowel that appears to have metal posts in the ends. Works very well.

Mine were difficult to get in, too. I had to gently tap them with a hammer. Worked great!

It does take a little time and effort. Everything is pre-drilled, but there are some dowels that need to be glued, plus screws.

The screws are already inside the holes. Check the ends and see if they are there and unscrew them...that's how they came shipped to me...inside some of the ends.

The wood dowels are secured, but you will have to fasten the top and bottom to the play center.

Yes and no! The pieces of wood are held on with screws through a plastic matrix. There are extra holes in the matrix but they don't always line up with the cut pieces of wood. Takes a bit of thinking. I used a table saw, after I put the screws in the needed positions. it's a moderately difficult task cutting and fitting. Mine came out great, after some engineering and work. You'll love it when it's done.

I have not seen those. These are for metal nail style axles. If the dowels are larger though you could drill the smaller holes and then come back with a larger bit after you remove the jig.

Yes, there is glue involved inserting dowels. NOTE: Be VERY careful in installing the vertical panels under the top, as it is possible to install these backwards, which negatively impacts both the appearance, and future steps.
