The quality is abysmal. It's particle board. The back panel is as thin as a piece of paper, which results in a front heavy product. If you have animals or children - get the safety gear to strap to the wall. The most upsetting part is the front panels are paint. It's not actually ridged. It's poorly painted. It doesn't give the illusion of ridges either. It just looks like we bought a product with black stripes on the front. The cost to return this product is $70+. This wouldn't even look good in a dorm room. I read some folks say you get what you pay for and I disagree. At well over $200 the product should look better than the cheaper furniture from Walmart, IKEA, and Target - it doesn't.
