The unit itself is pretty sturdy. Fed Ex delivery was not up to usual Fed Ex standards. Box was dropped at the drive in gate and not delivered to our door. It looked as if it had been dropped and had burst open. might consider putting a couple of straps around the box.
The unit survived the rough handling and nothing was bent or broken. Very good packaging.
We unpacked and laid out parts over the living room floor. All seemed to be there (and were actually).
Be extra careful in reading the directions. There are a few places where the lock washer and washer do not go under the number 4 bolts for no apparent reason (and if you miss that you will run out of hardware). We are handy and have some resources so found some extra hardware without a trip to the store.
As noted by other reviewers, there is no hardware supplied which is the right size for mounting a Samsung 65 in TV. We found some bolts that were a bit too long which we cut down to fit with just the lock washer. Do not cut them too long and do not use the spacer called for (it wont fit). Too long and the screen might be damaged. Hardware is metric. Another reviewer has given the correct size for this and they are available at Ace (Part 006150 SKU 848433 You need two pkgs).
Do look at the pictures on when assembling and make sure you have right and left on the correct side. .Easy mistake--does not take long to correct--but it is nicer to do it right the first time. And if you do reverse things it wont stand up straight. The height adjusters go toward the front
The unit is very sturdy. We finally got just the right height for our tv (Thank you for all those holes so height can be adjusted). Our son helped with the heavy lifting. We would advise two people to place and adjust the tv.
When placing the middle shelf make sure your components will fit. We found the space just a bit too short for one piece except in the lowest position. It can be moved later, but is easier if you dont have to move it.
We are pleased with the look and solid build of this unit.
