have not put together , but looks etremely sturdy. I am used to serializing all of the pieces and putting things together and this looks really well mapped out so far. I read the reviews and some stated that the pieces came in danaged. it is an extremely heavy box, but my components are all there and intact.  perfect. the color is quite lovely and the height was what I was really after. I'll be putting it together this evening and I don't believe it will take very long.
