The piece seems very sturdy so far. It arrived earlier this week and we put it together right away. The espresso color is more black than expected, but still works with our decor. The drawers also have a little bit more of a gap than anticipated, so from certain angles you can see the unfinished edges inside. Additionally, the piece labeled N1 was sent in the warm brown color instead of in espresso. As it is a 100% internal structural piece, we didn't contact anyone to replace it.. but if it had been another piece that would have been problematic.  We upgraded the drawer pulls, but that was only because we wanted to for some contrast. The ones that came with were perfectly fine. Only mentioning it because I am attaching photos to this review to show the drawer gaps and piece N1.
