I ordered 12 of these, they are out of stock for most of the order, which is fine. I put one together tonight and wanted to give my honest input. The wood is pretty, it is 1/2 all the way around. There is a warning to put place anything heavy on top. The sides are wobbly as most items would be, but the back is basically cardboard.  I think thinking of buying some thin wood to put on the back to add strength. These might work for my needs, still. Some stated on here they had a hard time putting this together, just pay attention to the diagram, you should be fine. As with most door's, they are hard to get right. One consideration might be to add a small "lip" under the front wood inside and also to one door. Just a thought.  I hope this helps.  Also, the wood is put together with a few screws, I think these are fine, but if you wanted you could add some finishing nails.
