Look, this isn't a piece of high-end furniture but it providing me with an economical short-term storage solution. It's relatively sturdy and seems to be able to hold a rather heavy load on the bottom and middle shelves. It arrived with no scratches or dents and with all pieces. There were some very minor nicks in the veneer but they are in areas not noticeable. It was very easy to assemble and the instructions were easy to follow. I'm satisfied with this piece. I bought this on sale for $260 CAD but I would not pay more for it.
