Just put this etagere together and it was very easy. All the pieces were there and marked and the directions were very easy to follow. The wood shelves are made to look like marble and are supposed to be screwed in to the frame but but did not have holes in the shelves. That turns out to be inconsequential, as far as I can tell ,as the shelves sit on supports that hold them in place without having to be screwed in. The etagere is metal and very solid.   Probably would not place it in our living room, but it looks fine in our bedroom. It came with a restraining strap which we chose not to install as we have no young children to worry about. overall we are very happy with our purchase.
