This is not as sturdy as a piece like this would be if it was basically one piece or hand made. I put it together myself and was surprised how well the instructions were listed. All the screws and parts that I needed were there and was glad to have the bracing bracket and wall screw, because of past experience I know that hall tables with attractive long legs,as this one has, need that for good balance. It came well packaged with no nicks.  Looks very very nice, would consider if you have young children who naturally are playful at times.
