Very stable.  BTW, I have a blog about assembling my UAII here:

TxGlenn:
I received my kit a couple of days ago.  I haven't unpacked it yet except for the control panel. 

I had a question about the trackball.  The standard cut-out ("standard" meaning I didn't customize it..it is the standard cut-out mameroom does), is kind of a square with one corner left in it.  I want my trackball to be flush with the CP..only the ball itself sticking out.  Do I need to order any special trackball for this?  I was looking at the lighted blue 3" trackball at ultimarc but I do not want a mounting plate visible. 

Thanks

I just put the kit together... it was rather easy, except the plexi they sent me for my marquee was a tad to big...
i would definitely recommend enforcing the bottom section with some wood glue as you go.... i didnt do this, and went to push it forward on carpet and they popped out of the cams..... not good..
so im gonna reinforce mine with some wood screws instead... but yea, its easy to assemble. You need two people to put the top part on though.  Also, im putting a 26" lcd in mine, so i havent did the monitor mount yet.
