It is sturdy but man it took a long time to put together! My husband and his friend who was over are both in construction and all three of us are engineers. It still took us over 4 hours to put together. It is nice and looks good now that it’s together but plan to spend a LOT of time doing it. A huge amount of that time is peeling super thin super sticky plastic off every single piece. 


A few pieces also came very bent but we were able to straighten them out with a metal bending tool called a “hand seamer” he happened to have in the garage.
