The shipping materials were damaged pretty bad upon arrival, luckily it did not pierce through to then wood of the product. Setup was easy , wood quality is good , it's particle board but very thick sandwiched in between 2 pieces of real wood. It's nice and sturdy, the amount of screws and fasteners that hold this together make it a strong construction. And the best part of all is the amount of books you can actually store, I have some very oversized art books that fit perfect , for once my book collection has a home!
