This was fairly easy to put together and like others comments have said— felt flimsy at first but when all the screws are tightened it’s quite sturdy. I’m giving four stars because one of the long rod pieces was bent at the top, and the semi-circle piece could not fit because of it. I had to really bang on t a few times with the hammer to get the shape somewhat right so the pieces could connect, and the metal didn’t move easily so I think this would be a manufacturing error and not simply damage from shipping. Overall for the price I am very happy. I did not attach the back bar that connects the two sides at the base because my toilet would not allow it to fit. Hope this helps!
