This is just what we needed for our budget. I saw other's reviews that theirs came damaged, so was worried that might happen to us, but ours showed up just fine. I also thought it was pretty easy to put together. We are using this for a record player and records, and while everything fits pretty well, the records kind of have to balance against the front rails so they don't fall out since the sides are open. Otherwise, it seems sturdy enough for what we have on it. We do plan to secure it to the wall, but you can adjust the legs at the bottom, so I made it so it leans back slightly for now.
