Reviews
For the amount of money
"For the amount of money we paid for this, it was a very disappointing product. Very frustrating to put together - all the wooden dowels were too long so nothing fitted. Had to trim each and every one and even then big gaps at some of the joints. Some caulk should fix that but annoying to have to do that. Also a few of the cam bolt housings pulled out of their holes while setting it up. All in all not happy."
