Most important is it was very sturdy when assembled. Two of the hinges that hold the sides of the shelf rack on to the back where bent due to being assembled wrong. One hinge was missing the pin so I had to make one. Both metal brackets for the lower cross piece had to be straightened.  I was shorted a lockwasher.   Instructions not the best. Box was a little beat up (it happens) but packed well enough to survive. Typical smell of this type of furniture so I left it in the garage for a few days. I've bought and assembled better and worse.
