It took me a good long time to put this together by myself but Im very happy with the finished product.  Seems sturdy.  Im happy its from Brazil (not China like so many things).  I took off 1 star because the directions were not wonderful.  I noticed after it was all put together that the front panel containing the drawers have different top and bottom edges.  The curved edge was supposed to be at the bottom and mine is obviously upside down (see pic) and leaves a slight gap.  But Im not so worried about it to take it all back apart.  It still works.
