Seems to be sturdy once put together, but individual pieces seem to not fit very flush with one another no matter what I tried to do. Multiple places where this is the case. Also disappointed in how many areas I noticed that the finish was already scratched up or had defects right out of the package. 
Cheap purchase and I generally don't expect particle board furniture to be great, but that said I have a ton of IKEA furniture and never had similar problems.
