For the money it was worth it. But putting it together was 10x worse than any IKEA piece I have ever purchased. Also, and I dont think they stress this in the directions you must make sure the wooden dowels you are gluing in are pushed in as far as they will go. One was not and when I tried to attach the side of the stand to the bottom it popped through the laminate coating and I had to glue it together :(  It is out of view and did not affect the stability of the unit but frustrating none the less.
