I ordered two of these, and paid to have them assembled upon arrival. I have them placed side by side, abutted next to each other to create a 10 foot long sleek look in my new senior living apt. I have my flatscreen TV and audio equipment placed on top, and record albums, CD's, DVD's and books stored inside, for a clutter-free look to my living room. So far they are very sturdy and I'm pleased with the purchase!
