I bought this a month ago and thought the wood seemed real thin and was putting off putting it together. Honestly, can’t comment on wood quality since it has not been long enough yet, but I will say that it was not as bad as I thought putting it together. One thing I will note, our box was missing multiple bags of screws that we needed and had bags of screws that didn’t apply to our set inside. Luckily I have a bunch of extra screws, nuts, bolts, etc, so it didn’t effect me but I’m sure other people might not like that too much.
