I anticipated a Saturday full of frustration but turns out the shelving unit was easy to assemble. I assembled by myself. The instructions were useless, so watch a video and use common sense. Use your own rubber mallet as the one provided makes a good gift for a 2 year old, but does nothing to get the pieces locked together. Dimensions perfect to organize all my plastic containers and other garage stuff. Solid metal material. And each shelf has 2 stabilizing bars. Highly recommend.
