seems sturdy but apparently was damaged in shipping. Both were front pieces that were damaged so it is visible. The damage was mostly cosmetic so I was able to use would glue to put them back together and they were not load bearing pieces but you can still see the damage. The bottom drawer pieces seem a little flimsy but will work. One of the drawers doesn't go in correctly and catches just a tad when you close it with the drawer above but not to the point the drawer doesnt close all the way.  Wasn't too bad putting together,  the instructions were very well laid out. Overall it looks really good for what I needed.
