Ordered this item "open box" and got it for a great price. It arrived less than 24 hours after, and I don't live anywhere near a major city. Very impressed with the quality and construction for pressboard material. It's very sturdy, I used glue with the dowels, although it really didn't need it, unlikely many other pressboard assembly items. Assembly was very easy and straight forward, took me a little over 1.5 hours by myself (there's a TON of pieces). Would definitely recommend this item.
