Installation was easy enough but make sure you pay attention to the metal pieces, they each have a front and back orientation (AKA they must be installed in a very specific orientation). Once installed, it's sturdy and holds a lot of weight as listed in the specs. I wish the wood color wasn't so "dirty" - it looks like a took the wood from a rundown barn and just looks like it needs to be cleaned. But structurally, it's a sound piece.
