I agree with and understand the comments of both previous reviewers. When I purchased this item, there were no reviews. Those reviews must have been posted right after I put in our order.When I saw this item on the website, I knew it would be perfect. I really liked that it was solid wood. I didn't know what rubberwood was, so I "googled" it. That made me like this piece of furniture that much more. Rubberwood is ecologically friendly. Rubberwood is where we get latex. These trees are cut down once they reach the end of their useful life producing latex. It used to be that these trees were burned after they were cut down. Now, furniture and other wood products are made from them. You don't get "greener" than that! As MissMitz said, it took quite a while to put this together. My husband wasn't too happy with how long it took. I helped him a little. We discovered that the two vertical inner pieces were not interchangeable. I just looked at the directions and they are labeled Divisions D and E. My husband must have reversed them because when we tried to put on the perpendicular piece (don't recall if it was the top or bottom) it just didn't fit. I started making remarks about how it was not drilled properly. Well, my husband is smarter at this than I and he had the idea to switch the inner pieces. That worked. Everything fit together perfectly. "repose" from LA must have done something similar to what we did, switched pieces.This is a very nice piece of furniture and does not look like something we put together in our family room, which we did. This is the first time I've ordered something from Overstock. Wish I'd become a member of "O" before I ordered it. It's quite possible I will buy again from Overstock.
