It's what you pay for. Assembly was fairly straightforward, except for one end that wasn't drilled through enough, but I was able to get it to work. But beware, assemble on carpet and keep all tools and hard pieces away from the wood. Since it's basically a sticker on top of manufactured wood, I scratched it in 2 different places before it was even assembled. I did like how they included the parts to fasten it to the wall aka childproofing it.
