I do wish the metal pieces were a bit thicker...I think that would help with the sturdiness, because it's a bit flimsier than I anticipated. But, once we move it into the utility room and add items to the shelves, I believe it will be ok and will feel sturdier. Based on its quality, I believe the sale price was a good price point for the unit; definitely wouldn't be worth the full price of $320. As others have mentioned, the instructions are not the best. But, if you're good at visual learning, I think you will be fine with what's provided if you use common sense and just think it through. You don't use screws to put this together--the metal pieces have slots and tabs that slide into each other, so have a mallet or something similar handy to secure the tabs really well. Also, have a good idea of what levels/height you want each shelf to be before starting, that will be helpful. The only issue we really had with putting it together was with the metal pieces that intersect the framing to help support each shelf. There were no instructions with how to install this piece, so we did the best we could. It wasn't until we were putting together some other shelving from this same company that we saw any directions for this piece; why that specific instruction wasn't included with this corner unit, we'll never know. I'll include some pics for future customers who run into the same issue. It would have been helpful for us to have had a pic, because we would have never thought to bend the tabs on either end to insert them into the slots.
