When I was looking for a dresser, I didn't want to spend a small fortune because I know I am not going to be staying where I am more than a year.  I wanted something pleasant to the eye yet sturdy.  In reading reviews, I found some stating the back is cardboard, the drawers don't pull completely out, and I thought, did I make the right choice.  The answer is yes, I did, for the price, this is a very sturdy piece of furniture, it looks nice and will work well for me in my bedroom.  I would recommend this to anyone.
