As someone who's assembled their share of Ikea style flatpack furniture, this stand is very sturdy and adjustable. The manufacturer is also thoughtful, providing extra parts, as well as tools for assembly! I have a home office and needed to stack 3 devices on top of each other to save space - a shredder, printer, and scanner. It was challenging to find a suitable product that didn't cost a fortune. This item is perfect for what I need! It has a sturdy metal frame, and shelves that can be installed at different heights depending on your need. It looks great in my home office - with the wood panels it doesn't look too utilitarian. Highly recommend!
