It has the sturdy-ness I need for sewing & that is why I purchased it. The top has a few scratches on it, possibly from shipping, but it was packaged well. The wheels were difficult to attach as the skinny wrench worked only so far. The well where the wheel goes in is indented & the wrench does not fit, so we couldn't tighten the nut. It did take two of us to assemble. One could do it, but it was easier with two people.  I love that there are locks on the wheels and 2 handy shelves underneath. It's great overall!
