Just got it assembled last week so I dont know if itll hold up to the test of time. But it wasnt too terrible to assemble (I only flipped a board the wrong way once bc the instructions werent super clear) but it seems sturdy enough assembled. Its a bit lower than Id likeexpect and the fo-wood is like a hollow plasticvinyl board situation. It looks real enough from afar but you can definitely tell its not wood or anything close to wood when youre up close or touch it. But for the price, it works for us.
