This was easy to put together. I did it by myself in about 30 minutes. It looks just like the picture. It's sturdy enough for they types of items I would put on it. Even though I knew what the dimensions were before buying it's a little on the small side. I do think the price is a little high for what it's made out of. The bottom of the shelves are particle board and the sides are MDF. I'm glad I got it on sale.
