Without regard to longevity, it’s brand new as of 11/22, this is an excellent choice. The price is right, it is solidly constructed, and serves my needs. I assembled in about 30 minutes and that’s after taking a call, I have no idea why others are suggesting it took over an hour. My only concern is that the package arrived with a large hole in the box, thankfully nothing inside was damaged. I only wish it were a  slightly larger.
