It is very sturdy and I love the color of this dresser. However, it is much smaller than anticipated. It would be perfect for a boys nursery, but in my master next to my king bed it looks rather small. Putting it together is also quite a task- having to adjust the drawer tracks to get the drawers to line up correctly. I got it for a great price, and eventually I will buy a different set for the master and move this set to a nursery.
