It feels very solid. You do have to attach the feet, it was very simple, I just needed a Phillips screwdriver, it took about 5 minutes and they feel very sturdy. There is a nice latch so it doesn't slam down on you that comes installed and again, feels secure. I purchased the red one and it's exactly as the picture showed. The stitching on the top has been done with thick nice quality thread that I feel will wear well. The material is nice and will wipe off easily. It will be used hard in this home with lots of kids and pets and I feel it's sturdy enough to survive. I put four quilts in and there is room the spare. I'm very satisfied and would recommend it to a friend.
