Another satisfying purchase from Overstock! I purchased this cart for our home gym area, primarily because it provides enough shelf space for 3 A/V components. I rate it a "4" on Ease of Assembly, only because it won't be all that easy if you're not familiar with putting together build-it-yourself furniture. There are pictorial instructions, but no written instructions to accompany the pictures. In spite of some challenges with the assembly of the first few pieces (namely trying to keep them level and keep the glued pieces in contact while lining up the next series of pieces), the unit came together square and level, which is more than I can say for other self-assembly products I've seen in the past. It currently holds a 27" CRT TV, 5-disc CD changer, DVD/VCR combo, and a good-sized receiver, so it's definitely sturdy and well-built. The casters are great, too, because we have the unit in a corner, and they enable us to pull the cart out for cleaning without heavy lifting. Overall, I would say this is a pretty nice piece of furniture for the price.
