This is a lovely piece and works perfectly for what I intended. I guess every once in a while the factory robots go nuts. I had TONS of hardware I didnt need, not enough of some of the things I did need, and some of the places that should have been hollows were holes all the way through. It absolutely did NOT go together per the directions. Fortunately I am a pretty fair carpenter, so I put it together my own way after a visit it Lowes for braces and screws. I am enjoying using it a lot. Since most others said it went together easily, I can only conclude my piece was a fluke. I have put together over 25 pieces of furniture and this is the first time I have had problems. So since my experience seems to be the odd one out, go ahead and buy this cabinet if you want to.
A beautiful piece, but . . .
