Fairly well constructed and relatively easy to assemble, although some of the instructions were ambiguous (like the direction the hinges were to be placed on the doors). The "solid wood" top is not a solid slab of wood; it is made of strips of 1" thick, 6" long pieces of wood glued together. It's still fairly sturdy though. However, if the unit had not been on sale I would have thought it a little pricey for the quality.
