I sat down fully aware of some of the issues others had when putting it together but figured it would be all fine, after 2 hours of toiling away I realized everything was wrong because the drawers weren't going in the right way. Someone had drilled the holes for the drawer part on the wrong side, so the holder thingy was going to be in the front and whole thing upside down. URG. With that I got on here and started to fill out the return item info but halfway through I decided I was just going to put it together how I think it should go and just ignore the instructions, that was the key. In the process I did break the stupid thing that holds the two drawer sides together and it no longer has pegs in it because I had to break them when I flipped it all over...but it is together and painted up nice (the red was just a little too red for us and didn't really match the decor liked we hopped)..although the drawers are wonky and it's bit lopsided without the bar thing. Overall, I am satisfied with my product and it does what it needs to, store things, so in th end, it's all good.
