This is definitely not solid wood or something to be used frequently. But if your intentions are to have it as part of decoration and randomly need to open its doors, then yes, it is worth it! Purchased two for my dining room. The finishing was beautiful, just seems fragile! Goes along with my rustic, farmhouse look. Happy that it already came assembled, very light too, so you can just break the box open and pull the cabinet out. It was a good purchase!
