I had pretty low expectations based on the price but figured since I dont have kids or pets I didnt need it to be amazing quality as I dont really plan on moving it around too much. However when it arrived I was really impressed! It was packaged very securely and came totally undamaged. It was really easy to set up by myself and I wasnt expecting it to be so heavy! The base is really weighty so it feels secure. All around Im so happy I went with this over some of the more expensive options on here!
