It's a sturdy piece, but not perfect by any means. There were several chips in the veneer right out of the box, and tons of scratches that show in the light. Assembly wasn't too difficult, and plenty of extra parts were included. For the doors on the bottom shelf, the pre-drilled holes were off by a few millimeters and as a result, they don't hang straight. There is a tapering gap where they meet in the middle and it detracts from the look of the whole piece.
I only paid $175 for this shelf, so overall I'm not unhappy with the purchase, but be warned that it probably won't look as perfect as the pictures.
