This is not a cheap lightweight! I am 65 and have arthritis and put it together by myself. It took hours but it was well worth it. This item is heavy and sturdy. It was the best packaged item I have ever seen and I have 300+ purchases on eBay not including Walmart and Wayfair. The most important part is my wife is happy! The instructions are precise and everything you need to assemble are included to include a wrench and 2 tubes of glue. It looks great (better than in the photo). I didn't have much money to spend and thought this would be a bad deal but I am happier than you can imagine. I just wish the TV stand I got from Walmart was half this good!
