Wood quality is good. However, there is an alarming lack of precision in the cutting and drilling of the pieces. You will have to fully assemble the piece. One of our drawers was drilled incorrectly so that the nob cannot be used without buying a longer screw. The file cabinet drawer doesn't sit quite right and needed additional work before it would track. All in all the materials are good but the construction is poor. And the assembly instructions are incorrect so parts had to be disassembled and put back together in order for the back piece to be installed.
