Hated it while putting it together, but its ok. These are the worst directions ever. I enjoy putting stuff like this together, but it didnt specify which direction unfinished sides should face. There were no written directions. If it wasnt for the fact that sending it back wasnt a logical option, I would have quit putting it together 2 hours in. Yes, it takes awhile...couple days for me because I was so confused with the directions.  It does seem sturdy, even the back panel is stronger than any other furniture I have put together. . Purchase at your own risk. If you are not handy, this is not for you.
