Title: 5 stars...if only to combat the negative reviews
Product review: I would rather rate this as 4.5 stars but I wanted to combat some of the negative reviews out there so I'm giving it a 5. I would consider the assembly instructions to be very comparable to most self-assembly furniture in this price range. They are not the best instructions but I didn't find them any better or any worse than comparable pieces. IF you don't do self-assembly furniture regularly (like my wife) you will probably find it very difficult. If you do (like myself) you will find it to be pretty easy. There are a couple spots where it would be easier with a second person but I don't think a second person is necessary. It took me about 2 hours to assemble but that included taking care of my son at the same time; 45 minutes of which was a nap. After assembly, it looks great and is plenty sturdy. We have had it for about 3 months now and don't see any issues with longevity.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
