Very sturdy and it is just what I wanted. My son put it together and he was amazed that it was made so well and as he said strong enough to hold up a lot. All the pieces and screws were there so no problems there. Needed for my puzzle and reading room. Large enough for lamp, picture and a cup of coffee.Has a sturdy drawer and a bottom shelf - just right. Another good bye from Wayfair. Am definitely a Wayfairer!! Thanks again
