This is MUCH harder to put together than anyone let’s on and I am pretty handy. I did have to put it together by myself. It is very sturdy and it was just what we wanted. I looked all over at multiple sites for this type of stand in this color and settled on this one. We’re super happy. We did have some shipping mishaps but Wayfair corrected it and resolved all of our issues quickly and professionally. Definitely a winner.
