So far so good. My 14 year old daughter picked this out for her room. We got it on sale, so it was a great price. She lead the assembly and we had it put together in about 1.5 hours. We've only had it a week, but it seems sturdy and that it will hold up. There are a few very low end features; the back of the shelf area is very thin cardboard and the drawer slides on plastic rails in a groove cut out of the sides of the drawers. It was very inexpensive though and is nice otherwise.
