The finished product is great from afar. It looks nice and functions well. It'll be perfect for my 14 year old son who puts wear and tear to another level. It is pretty sturdy once built. The negatives are that assembly was difficult (Not true to instructions. I did use the PDF version on the Wayfair website and found that to be easier), finishing is subpar (Around the perimeter of each piece is scuffed. Luckily I went with black and I'm sure I can easily touch it up with a black marker). Overall, I am happy with the purchase but not for the cost.
