The item is made of cheap mdf, and takes an unusually long time to assemble.  It arrived with red stains and dirt on the melamine surface, and there were tiny bits of the styrofoam packing loose in the box, and it was incredibly static clingy.  It took 30 minutes to unpack the parts and get the tiny pieces of foam off them, and another 30 minutes to try to sweep up all the bits that got all over the room and stuck to the floor.  I wouldn't bother, it's too much trouble.
