As filing cabinets go and from a visual standpoint, what you see is what you get.  The top of the cabinet is solid wood.  The drawers are made of less thicker and robust wood. That being said, it's a filing cabinet.  Don't expect teak or mahogany wood drawers.  

Overall it's a sturdy, well-constructed piece of furniture.  It was shipped assembled and with some decent packaging.  My box looked like it went through war to get delivered. I should have taken pictures.  Luckily for me, the filing cabinet didn't have a scratch, so I guess there is something to be said in that.

Also, if you're considering buying the companion desk, as I did, the cabinet is the same height as the desk, which means you won't be able to put the cabinet under the desk, unless you bought risers for the desk. 

Overall, I'm pretty pleased.
