Actually exceeded my expectations given the price point. It is very sturdy and feels and looks like a much more expensive piece. I am a 30 year old woman and I was able to put this together myself in about 4 hours - it comes in approximately 1000 pieces and while it felt very labor intensive it was definitely doable. Would recommend a drill because I think using a screwdriver alone for this would probably have taken much longer. Over all super happy though, I think it turned out great!
