It took a little while to put together, but its very sturdy and came with a small wooden mallet to make sure each piece was in enough. As a replacement it works well, but if you want to charge your headphones while still using them with this, tough luck. I was surprised at the quality and look. It is reasonably priced, fit for use, and works well for us. Returns were easy though. Dont replace the bottom (but you should replace the rubber foot now). Box was a little damage, but less than what I expected. Update from 9-20-19 The company offered me a discout which I declined because I passed the shoes on to my granddaughter. YES! He gets home from work and puts them on immediately.
