This is exactly what I wanted and expected. The instructions were easy to follow. It was tricky balancing the pieces when putting it together, and I did need help from a second person to put it onto its side and to turn it upright during assembly. I would not recommend this for a rough and tumble household. It is particle board, and if it gets bumped around or twisted, I could see it giving way. However, it suited my needs and I am quite satisfied with the condition.
