This arrived nice and quick and was very well packaged. I live in a remote area and parcels get handed around from truck to truck along the way, often boxes and what's in them get damaged.  This was so well packed that even though the box had some dings in it the item was perfectly intact! Took hubby just fifteen minutes to put together, so easy! The fixings are good quality, as is the unit itself. Yes it is MDF but what else would you expect for a little over $100? At least it isn't chipboard with a cheap veneer! Totally L.O.V.E. my unit!
