It's a basic piece, but I knew that going in. Even so, it's plenty sturdy, and was a breeze to put together. I had it completely assembled, and realized later that I did not want the lower hang-rod installed. Seeing that all the pieces snap-fit into each other, I thought it would be a chore to get the hang-rod back out without dis-assembling the unit. But it came right out, to my relief.
