It is sturdy and I was just able to assemble it alone, though I would recommend having a second person since it took some risky tricks to get it turned over to put the last legs on. The one thing I don’t like is that the shelves are so small, and they could have easily been big enough by just moving the bottom shelf lower rather than having such tall legs. But it holds my 85” TCL QM8 and most of my connected devices. My receiver had to go off to the side though since there was no way it could fit.
