Not easy to put together

Not easy to put together! This is a beautiful cart/stand, and it's exactly what I wanted. But - there are no instructions - only pictures. I can usually put things together (by myself) without even looking at the pictures, but this has so many pieces, that look alike, that we were constantly looking at the photo and trying to figure out the difference in the pieces. Some things were very obvious. Other things more confusing than you might imagine. I gave it 4 stars because it is beautiful, and it is exactly what I wanted. I'm hoping the problem with my unit was just a fluke, and that most units are perfect after assembly. But it took two people, over two hours, to put it together. On top of that, the roller tracks for the drawer, were not installed straight, and the screws (already installed prior to shipping) were half in, so the drawer wouldn't go into the track. We had to grind down the heads on the screws and straighten the side that was crooked, and the drawer still doesn't open easily. I can't just reach down and open the drawer to get a file. It takes both hands to get the drawer out. I'm honestly not sure I'll be able to use the drawer. At this price, I expected it to be perfect. I am honestly disappointed, because it is exactly what I wanted - if only it was functional. It fits both my printers, and it would eliminate the file cabinet I've been using, so you get so much function in a small space. I wish it worked like it was supposed to. I can't even think of returning it. Not going to take it apart to ship and return, after all this work. I think it's worth the chance - and hope you have better luck. It is a beautiful piece of furniture, sturdy, and holds my laser printer on top, and a flat HP printer on the bottom shelf. The pull out tray is a good work space.
