This is a very sturdy entertainment center. Minus a star because some of the boards were missing pre-drilled holes, which was a hassle (especially if you don't have a power drill) and one of the leveling feet was missing. There was a customer service number on the box for replacement parts, but I never got around to calling, so that's on me. Most of my shelves covered in heavy books and I feel like its supported very well. Also note, the lower two shelves on all three pieces are not as tall as I would like and they are not adjustable. Great for paperbacks, but not big enough for textbooks to stand upright. I had a 60" tv on it originally, and it looked great. Now I have the three pieces split up around the house, and they work just as well apart as they do together.
