This unit is probably as nice as you'll find for an MDF-constructed piece of furniture. Having said that, there were a couple of issues. We had to have them send a couple of replacement pieces due to the lack of packing separation between the unfinished MDF backs of the pieces and the finished fronts. Second, one of the horizontal front trim pieces was 1/8" too long, causing one vertical trim piece to twist slightly. Easy fix, though. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that the black shelves are unfinished on the bottom, which is pretty obvious and does not show in their picture. Shame on them for not being honest about that, but I would have still bought it with that knowledge. Unless you're planning on spending 3x on solid wood, this is as good as it gets.
