I was looking forward to adding this sidebar to my dining area to replace an older, outdated one. It took over two hours to put it together. Not that it was difficult, but just very time consuming due to the number of pieces. All the pieces were numbered, and instructions were supplied so this wasn't a deal breaker. HOWEVER, seeing the NUMEROUS nicks, scrapes, chips, etc. was so disappointing. Due to its small size, paying what I did for this item ($300.00), I expected it to arrive in great condition.I contacted the seller, shared photos and they acknowledged what I received had some damage and they worked with meto make things right. It is nice sidebar and we are glad it arrived in time for a family Easter gathering.
