Firstly, this dresser comes preassembled, which was the reason for me selecting it. The first dresser that arrived was damaged during shipment. One of the brackets that is built inside the dresser wall broke and therefore caused the second and third drawers from the bottom to list instead of closing flush with the other drawers. I was immediately sent a replacement dresser and that one arrived in excellent condition. However, although this dresser is rather sturdy and very large in size, the inside of the drawers are not very deep, and a piece of the wood chipped off of one of the drawers when my sons portable wireless tower speaker fell into it. Overall, compared to some of the dressers I've seen and the fact that I purchased it on sale, this item was actually a great buy because it is definitely sturdy and made out of real wood and not that "construction paper" it seems that most manufacturers are now using to make furniture.
