I ordered a few of these for my children. They were a little flimsy for kid work, so I used wood glue in conjunction with the screws. Night and day difference. I recommend that you do the same if you want them to last. Overall, a good deal and would cost me about the same to build myself from hardwoods. Minus my time for cutting, drilling, sanding and staining. 3/5 stars as is for it's value. 4-ish if you use wood glue.
