Overall its sturdy and looks great in my mudroom. The lower stars is about the hardware. The heads on the cam bolts was ridiculously poor. I was using a 9v power screwdriver initially to out these in and while they went in fine, the head was totally shredded once in. I switched to a screwdriver and that was marginally better, but still, tightening down put the heads in peril. Over the years, Ive easily put together 100 pieces of pressed wood furniture. In 1983/4 I worked for a low end furniture store while in highschool. I cant think of a time when I saw cheaper hardware to out a piece of furniture together. That said, it went together ok and is sturdy and looks good. But beware and be careful. One mistake in interpreting the no/text instructions and you could be in for trouble.
Sturdy and attractive once built but.
