Construction is sturdy and solid, especially for the price I paid. It's great for use in the guest bedroom. However, the finish/ pattern is "stamped". There is no texture, which is not what I expected. I knew the piece wasn't real wood, but I didn't expect the finish to look like wallpaper. It looks great until you get really close, then it looks a little cheesy. Again, it's great in a room that isn't used much, but I wouldn't purchase it again.
