I was honestly shocked by how good quality this piece was. Yes it's particle board but it's perfectly coated, no dings or missed paint spots. The finish is surprisingly durable (after dragging it all over my floor, not a scratch to be seen). Super easy to put together, and it came with full color, very detailed instructions! My only complaints are the pink version is more pastel than it looks in the picture, and the doors ended up ever so slightly misaligned and there's no way to take them out once they're in. But I can live with that. Love it, and I hope our future cat will too!
