Tighten screws carefully and follow five rules
Very happy with the product. I am over 80, in a wheelchair, and have poor eyesight. It took me about 2 hours to fully assemble it myself. I am very grateful to those who have had problems and posted the results. I only made one new mistake and then undid it. I have assembled many similar pieces of furniture in nursing homes. Here are the rules. 1) If two identical parts have different part numbers, you are missing something. 2) Do not use tools to tighten the screws. Tighten only finger tight, even if it is only a fraction of a full turn. 3) Once a thread is screwed in, do not add a second thread, be careful to reuse the original thread. 4) Do not drive a screw into a part until all the screws of the part are tightened 5) Engineered wood is not like MDF. It is denser, harder, more water resistant, and more dimensionally stable.
