Got it assembled, eyeballed it, and took the whole thing back down. Just couldn't live with the phony printed laminate shelves in one of the main rooms of my house. Feels fairly sturdy (although the feet aren't leveling—so if you live in an older house like mine, it may wobble a little). Would be perfectly acceptable in a basement or other spot where you want something a little trendy and functional but aren't going to have your eyes on it all day every day.
