This looks nice and seems sturdy. The four star rating is because the assembly instructions could have been clearer. This is also a classic example of why you shouldn't tighten anything until assembly is completed. I ended up doing a lot of loosening and retightening. Still, it only took me an hour and a half with the help of the little thugs in the photo and their sister. Assembly would probably take an hour or less with two humans and no cats. This also goes really well with the shelves we purchased from Wayfair a couple of months ago (second photo).
