This was incredibly easy to assemble. it's lightweight but seems sturdy. I've had it for a little over a month now. The only reason I gave this 4 stars vs 5 is the color variation of the wood. it seems like they were pulled from two separate pallets. This isn't the greatest picture but it's the one I have right now when reminded to leave a review. One looks more like a rosie wood and the other an oak. Works for me!
