This is a substantial piece of furniture. It is HEAVY and good quality. I have elementary aged kids and really needed some storage that would withstand and 8 year olds rough handling. It is really nice looking and fits into our industrial/steampunk light theme we have intermingled in. The instructions could be better. They do not show directionality in the subpar diagram so I ended up putting one shelf backwards and did not notice until I went to put the bins in. Needless to say, I don't want to do another quarter turn with a tiny screwdriver for quite some time. Aside from that hiccup, we love it!
