This is a great deal for the money. I was worried about some of the reviews that discussed quality and I wanted comment. While this is an mdf board with wood laminate, the finish is nice and the wood is solid 
 where it's needed. While the solid portions are glued like a finger joint (without the joints), this also means you're not going to get wood that splits or warps like you can with solid wood products. This is real wood laminate with a beautiful wood grain.l and it's less than $100! It's very sturdy.
Assembly was ok. The instructions elude you to assemble some pieces in the wrong order. There were two areas where I needed a third arm (second person). There are some predrilled and installed wood dowels. This means you should use wood glue for a tight long lasting fit. This does not come with the kit nor is it mentioned in the instructions. If I hadn't built furniture in college I might not have known myself, this is my recommendation to you.
