It had very complicated instructions in fact found someone's notes in a google search that were much better than the manufacturer's. The package arrived beat up. Although it's now all put together, there are a few scratches and dents from the delivery it still looks good. However,  I bought it solely to hold my turn table/stereo and records so needed something really strong, I fear I'm going to wake up one night to a crashing table that gave out. It feels sturdy, but the materials are pretty cheap and fear the given weight capacity is a little overreaching. You get what you pay for as the saying goes.
