We thought it was pretty easy to put together and is pretty sturdy. Only con is that the enclosed shelves on the right and left do not have ventilation/holes in the back and are therefore not meant to house electronics. We ended up drilling holes to run wires in those cabinets and we put our electronics in there anyways. As long as we open the doors when the units are on it seems to go ok otherwise there's a chance it could overheat.
