It was very easy to assemble, and seems sturdy enough for my craft room. I love the color and that you can flip most of the pieces so the color can face whichever way you prefer. I had an issue with my original shelf and customer service quickly solved my problem. My only real issue is the quality of the back, and the need for tiny nails to install it. I’m too impatient and put some nails through at the wrong angle initially.
