I ordered the green (really a forest green) and it was just want I wanted.  It was fairly easy to put together (about 2 hours) but took 2 people, one to hold and one to align the screws.  All of the holes were drilled correctly so everything matched up.  Opening up and closing was easier than I thought it would be.  It is firm but fine by me.  My grandson liked it so I guess it passed the test.  The only thing is I don't know how the USB cord connection will last because my cat likes to chew on those things and I won't see her because it's underneath.  At least it's replaceable if she destroys it.
