It works well and looks great when put together, but isn't the easiest to assemble - the instructions are clear and it was easy to figure out what goes where, but the holes don't have the best grip, etc. However, it's half the price of other similar pieces I've bought and I did manage to put it together in the end with some assistance; now that it's up, it is sturdy and does exactly what I need it to. Just something to note.
