The piece looks lovely when set up with the bed. I like the color and the completeness it gives the bed. However, because it is not solid wood the shelf is already sagging even though we have not overloaded it with heavy books.  The books are small paperback devotionals mostly and they are stacked at either end with the middle free yet the middle is sagging. It's functional for a child's room or in this case in my mom's room. Based on the website ad it is what was expected. 
Would not recommend for people who are looking for sturdy long term furniture.
