This is a nice heavy piece of furniture when it is put together. There are a whole lot of pieces to put together, and some of them don't fit quite right. The bottom panel was damaged during shipping, but the drawers covered the damage one it was assembled. If the shelves aren't perfectly lined up the bright yellowish particle board shows. If I had to buy another one, I would buy it pre-assembled! There are a few screws that are a slightly different color and length... BE SURE you use the right ones or they will poke through the veneer!
