This is a nice piece! I paid about half of the full price, and I'm happy with it for that cost. The top drawers are velvet lined, all of the drawers are solid wood on all parts, and the legs are metal. The back is a higher quality MDF-type board. Thicker than what comes on a lot of furniture in a box, but definitely needs to be against a wall. All you have to do is attach the legs with four screws and put on the handles. It's a little wobbly, which may just be my 1930s house, but the feet are adjustable in height. It comes in a box, securely wrapped, and I was able to unpack it and flip it into position alone. It looks really good!
