Attention: I truly wish there had been a review before I bought this as I would not have done so under any circumstances. I have assembled many IKEA furniture pieces, and I have never had any difficulty. I imagined it would be something similar, but this felt more like building a model ship out of toothpicks. Whatever you see in the picture and suspect is a separate piece, know that you will indeed have to assemble it. Fortunately, I had the necessary tools, which I needed to fix holes that were not properly aligned. Even with a lot of effort, the result is not satisfactory. I have never left a negative review, but I want to protect other potential buyers. I am attaching two photos from the first pages of the instructions so you can understand what awaits you. Thank you for the occupational therapy.
