This unit came un- assembled, alot of parts but we organized them, all the parts and pieces were there, it took my husband and I about 2 hours to put together. The assembly instructions were pretty good. The back of the unit is thin a piece of black cardboard, kinda of cheesy, but the back of cabinet will not be showing so I'm okay with it. Nice looking piece of furniture. It's made primarily of pressed wood, but sturdy and good buy for the money. I'm happy.
