Well built. I read other reviews saying that it should have been more for the money and I disagree. I think it is a solid built piece for the price. You can’t get solid wood for this price. It is press board, however the black laminate overlay is very nice and is a vinyl type material which will not flake. It included many additional pieces to reinforce the unit all around and I feel very good that it will last as long as I need it to. And it looks great!
