Not the most sturdy and the hardware is not very good quality; and it was a $100 piece of office furniture. Finish is decent and seems sturdy enough after 2 months. The draws aren't designed and equipped (hardware, brackets, rails, etc) well. The top locking drawer, which was the main reason this item was chosen over others has busted (torn up) a wheel on one of the rails because the screw to mount the rail to main piece wouldn't mount flush. The slight bending on the rail & wheel damage is enough to render the drawer and lock effectively useless. I would like to see what the piece functions like with a working drawer, but couldn't locate who to call to request replacement tracks for the drawer.
