Overall nice looking, well painted, and fairly sturdy. Took me about 2 hours to assemble, but I was being deliberate since the directions are a bit incomplete. I agree with another reviewer that sturdiness is improved by putting a bit of wood glue (or white Elmers) on all the dowels (1). If youre still not sure which way the pieces fit after reading my corrected directions, then dont use glue (in case you have to move the parts around. Its still pretty sturdy without the glue once all the screws are in). As mentioned, the DIRECTIONS ARE INCOMPLETE; Id CORRECT THEM AS FOLLOWS:
Under STEP 1, sub/1, add: Make sure that shelves marked L have the cut/out corner notches facing the back of the unit (i.e., the opposite side from rail C).
Under STEP 2, sub/1, add: Make sure the beveled sides of panels E F and rail D are at the back of the unit (i.e., opposite the magnet on piece J).
Under STEP 3, sub/1, add: Once the camlocks are in, apply the round/white decals over the camlocks.
