It was rigorous to put together but afterwards it serves the purpose just well. The only downside was how thin the the mdf boards that are supposed to be nailed to reinforce the whole cabinet. It was too thin for my liking otherwise this would’ve been a 5 star purchase. It’s very sturdy if you put it together as per instructions. And yeah the instructions were not very clear. You have to keep your eyes wide open and pay attention to detail to have it sturdy and exactly as pictured. Ps the drawers are faulty , the fall apart wth use. I’m considering gluing them to keep it sturdy , otherwise this purchase is ok I guess
