I may have just got a bad one but, base on what I went through, I returned the other (shelf). By the time I got done putting this together, I didn't need my daily workout (which includes weight lifting). It was awful! I also had to use a hammer because the top pieces just wouldn't move. Needless to say, I was bummed about it and won't be buying any other like it. The color is pretty, fast shipping. 3 stars for that!
