This item arrived with no instructions save for 2 pictures on the box. After puzzling and finally figuring out how it went together I was eventually able to assemble it. Many of the pieces fit poorly and when it was together you could hardly pick it up without it coming apart again. I tried glue to no avail and finally threw it in the garbage as a lost cause. If you love frustration, do buy one of these for it will give you several wonderful hours of irritation.
