Terrible design. Come on, people. You need to rethink this one, including reworking the instructions.
Please remember, many of us can't jump forward and assume knowing how to put it together.
Write in STEP 1 and 2, not just step three. Don't assume!!
Back to the design, MDF DOES NOT WORK without braces!!! Simple pins holding two heavy boards at 90-degree angles does not work. And the top? Too heavy, and unnecessary. This product is both over-designed and under-designed, if that is even possible. Very unhappy. We've had to cobble together. It is unfinished. We are waiting for some help from someone smarter than us.
Way to expensive for this experience!!! I bought it because it was handsome. Hmmm.
