This piece really is a fantastic value. my main concerns were:1. sturdiness2. quality of constructioni was happily surprised when both the quality of the piece and the sturdiness exceeded expectation. most of the time, when you spend this little on a piece you expect parts to fit incorrectly or balance to be off. everything lined up and sat on my concrete loft floor completely level! would recommend to anyone looking for a stylish piece for a beginner's loft space.
