For the price this thing is kind of a rip off. Not sure how this manufacturer thought this would work. The wood they use looks nice from far but when you get close you can tell they definitely took a few shortcuts. The directions were somewhat unclear, although to be fair, there aren't that many steps so the way goes together is kind of self explanatory. The legs didn't match up with the top and once I got it together, it was uneven. This thing rocked like an old chair- which kind of defeats the purpose of putting a record player on top of it. I had to wedge a piece of cardboard from the box it came it to even it out. Save your money, spend a bit more, and trust me, you'll be happier.
