I have bought many pieces from 17 Stories. Contrary to other reviews it’s quite easy to put together. Make sure that piece 4 is the same direction as 5 otherwise the holes for shelves will not line up. I made that mistake but had it fixed within a minute. It’s pretty sturdy once it’s together. I have it next to my other piece and they match well. It is great for overflow bags and shoes. I would recommend this product and 17 Stories!
