Im actually very pleased with this piece.  The wood is solid and very substantial.  And the instructions are surprisingly easy to follow, but beware that this will require more than just some assembly.  Yes, I saved a hundred bucks by buying this one over the finished one, and was quite pleased with myself when I finished, but theres definitely more to it than just attaching the drawer knob!  I gave it a light stain to top it off.  Looks great.  Im going to use it for my printer and laptop storage below.  A definite thumbs up, but youll have to work a little.
