not very sturdy [SEP] upon receipt i noticed imperfections in the particle board yes particle board we had to drill holes to assemble because the holes didn t go all the way through there was also a crack in the back panel i went to a hardware store and bought a sheet of plywood to replace the one that came with the delivery since it s in the back and against a wall it was acceptable sending it back because of all the pieces would be a hassle so for an update xtra bucks i made it work it s functional but i think it was a poorly made from china so buyer beware
