The unit itself is pretty stable, but man this thing is a nightmare to put together. The instructions are unclear with typos and incorrect diagrams. In our unit, some of the pre drilled holes were about 18th inch off where they were supposed to be causing the drawer and doors to be crooked. Making the adjustments in the unit ourselves, we were able to make it work. If you are on the handier side, this is a great unit if you can work past these inconveniences.
