It was very easy to put together. It took me and one other person about 20 minutes total. I wish that the wire shelves were a little more sturdy, either a thicker wire, or a smaller mesh, or that there were enough of the plastic shelf liners to cover all the entire length of ALL of the shelves. This shelving unit comes with two sturdy plastic shelf liners, but it’s not enough for all of the shelves. Because of the openness between the wires on the shelves, you will either need to be careful placing items, or make sure to have down 1 of the two plastic shelf liners (that are only half the size of the shelf from side to side). Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, shipping took a little longer than normal, but it is a set of heavy shelves. I was very happy with the delivery team - they were very polite, and quick to deliver my purchase.
