Im really impressed with the quality of this dresser and it looks really nice. It has a durable melamine finish which I think will wear well. I decided not to put the flip-up door on the top because it takes up valuable space when it tucks back inside the dresser. Instead, I put 2 baskets on the open shelf and they work perfectly. I gave this 4 stars because the flip-up door had chips in the laminate and you could tell that it had paint touch-ups on it that looked unsightly - another reason that I decided not to put it on. Overall, Id highly recommend this dresser!
