Pretty sturdy. Fasts shipping. Fairly easy to assemble. Looked for this particular buffet for months and could not find it any lower than $508.00 most often at around $650.00. Wayfair was the only place where I could purchase this item at the very low rate of $310.00 with my 10% off coupon. What a great deal! And I could even pick different footing for it. Extremely pleased. Good quality great price.
