Sturdy if assembled expertly. This is a great value item which filled a need. Slight modification needed (shimming hinge holes) and professional technique (knowing when to tighten/keep loose certain steps, aligning and soft-touch tightening, nail tension for the tacked-on back) are essential for this build. Do not attempt as your first assembled piece alone. Get a friend who is handy and buy them some food. You will still save some money and have a great place to store clothing or whatever is cluttering your house. Also one of the manuals had blank pages instead of steps. Luckily I had bought two and had back-up instructions
Expert assemblers only - seriously.
