This item is super HEAVY--my husband could barely lift it so he could "walk" it into the house.My unit arrived with some small damage on (naturally) the most visible upper corner  but we'll cope rather than send back something that weighs this much.  The MDF board used make this pretty sturdy, although the flimsy cardboard "support" seems quite inadequate.  All that said, this holds a lot of supplies and seems very useful in the small space available.  I like that it doesn't look utilitarian because it's in a sitting room/guest room/ craft room.
