Title: Spare Yourself
Product review: There are some put-it-together projects you feel like tackling for an hour and a half (if you're handy with an all-purpose drill) but this thing isn't one of 'em. Got this to put together for a guest room being redone in a sort of minimalist, post-modern style. Thought it would be a cool accent piece for guest-room books and DVDs. I am good at cobbling these sorts of things together even if the directions might as well be xeroxed in ancient Sanskrit, but this thing was NOT worth my time. One of the few true nightmare "assembly required" products I've encountered and the finished product was underwhelming, to say the least. The material is super-cheesy, the thing has a tendency to list in one lopsided direction, and the shelves are wobbly/unstable. Often, the blood/sweat/tears required to assemble is mitigated by a decent finished product. This is not remotely worth your time or the abject idiocy you will feel upon seeing it after 2 & 1/2 hours of ridiculous assembly.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
