    • So what you inevitably spend most of your time doing is verifying & re-verifying you are using the correct screw and when you use the wrong one it's either to big and puts a gaping hole in the faux wood or is too small and belongs to another one of the 100 components in this shelf
    • The screws are misaligned, and the finishings broke during construction as well
    • Unfortunately, the bottom three drawers catch on screws (that are screwed in completely and the correct screws per the instructions) make it difficult to open and close the drawers
    • Would have given 5 stars if not for the small chip, and less than ideal screws for slides.
    • Some screws were a little difficult to get to
    • Package was missing one screw and had about 15 others in excess
    • You just have to use short controlled bursts of the drill in order not to overtighten the screws and damage the unit.
    • It takes total and complete assembly with far too many pieces of hardware, screws has infuriated my husband
    • you probably won't have all the right screws (the drawer knob screws weren't the only ones missing
    • I finally had to order the parts online, AFTER having to count every damn screw, nail, etc., in the package to make sure I wasn't missing something else.
    • Also, the L connectors that connect a lot of parts, particularly the top to the material below, cause a slight bump on the other side when screwed in all the way
    • It doesn't line up right in some places (hopefully no one will notice) and the screws were difficult to screw all the way in and in a couple places weren't able to screw all the way in at all
    • A screw is missing from the bottom drawer, which is a special screw, not one I'm going to be able to get at the hardware store
    • I find the usual issue with furniture I have to assemble is that screws are cheap and strip.
    • Some screws are missing and must find a replacement for the missing part
    • It stuck so bad that when trying to open it I pulled the drawer apart ripping the screws out of it
    • We had to go and buy the missing screws.
    • I consider it the epitome of miserliness for kits to come with EXACTLY the right number of screws, because if you lose or damage one, you're (excuse the pun) screwed
    • Too heavy for the pressed board/screw design - the screws just won't hold in the pressed board, and it fell apart while I was putting it together
    • Match that with missing screws and cheap parts
    • The screws are misaligned, and the finishings broke during construction as well
    • Make sure you use the right screws for the right assembly as there are different screws that look a lot alike.
    • About 1/2 of the hardware was missing, had to go to hardware store to buy missing screws
    • This is easily rectified by backing out the screws from the front piece slightly, moving the drawer front to the proper alignment, and re-tightening the screws.
    • we just didn't read the directions and used the wrong screws at one point
    • This would have been a really solid stand but there were a few missing screws and pegs.
    • Nice!And the ultimate test of a good kit: do they include extra screws
    • Be sure to use the right screws in the right places or you can damage some pieces
    • For the most part, a good phillips screw driver was sufficient (but since I didn't have a drill handy, I have to admit having to struggle with putting a few screws in
    • you probably have the wrong screw or the pieces together wrong
    • The instructions are great, with the screws being used for each step shown on the page actual size, so you can simply hold a screw up to the diagram and tell if it's the correct screw
    • Anyone assembling one of these, be advised, as you follow the instructions in the proper order, it may be a good idea to leave some screws loose until that part of the assembly is complete.
    • We received it quickly, and all the pieces were in great shape - no damage or missing screws or knobs
    • The trim on the bottom arrived broken as well as missing a screw and the latch to attach it to the wall for security
