This is sturdy and as pictured except it did not come with the hardware to put it together! Upon calling Wayfair they said they could ship it out in 7 days or so. I asked if they could expediate the shipping since the pieces were spread out all over our small condo but the girl On the phone in Customer service said she wasn’t authorized to put a rush in it. The parts arrive about 10 fats later but not wanting the prices strewn about we had made two trips to the hardware store to find comparable hardware. The hardware that came is more decorative but now it means taking the whole thing apart and we probably won’t do that.
