This went together pretty well! It looks sturdy and can sit a person weighing 220lb without creaking, so seems true to the load limit indicated. Im knocking off a star because we may end up wood gluing some pieces together for our peace of mind and future security, since the fit wasnt perfect and the top lifts away a bit when you try (i.e. if we went to move this at all itd be a strictly handle from the bottom piece). The woodgrain look stickers included dont cover the washers on the inside of the shelves very well - we dont mind it, but if youre looking for something more polished thats something to take into account. Fits perfectly in our entryway and looks really cute!
