It came together though and is reasonably stable, although a couple of screws just couldn't be screwed all the way down due to their position. It also comes with small plastic covers covering the locking mechanism that connects the legs to the top, however I was unable to reattach them. my shelves, not the monitor, so I can't say how much weight it can actually support, but other than that it's serviceable.
