This is not a quality piece of furniture, be realistic that you are getting what you pay for.  This is sturdy because it is overbuilt, certainly is functional, but it is not quality.  It is made of some of the softest foreign metal you can find, for most folks this will be a one-time piece of furniture.  For those who ever plan on moving, you'll need to find replacement screws and have an extractor set for all of the stripped-out screws.  Oh, and a swear jar for the deposits.  I don't even know that a domestic, or better made, alternative exists even if you'd be willing to pay quadruple...  just know what you're getting here.  Functional junk.
