OK, this is a very substantial piece of furniture that is sturdy and solid.  Assembly is a PITA but the end result is worth it.  I'm a 59 yo female with RA and it took me most of 8 hrs BUT it is beautiful and I love it.  The pull out file drawer is easy glide and holds a ton of files, all hidden away nicely.  It looks white in the photo but mine is a cream color.  Pay close attention to the dimensions, it's not small.
