It's what I expected it to be.  The quality is good (neither great nor terrible).  All of the panels are made of MDF (wood composite) with a laminate coating.  All assembly and fasteners used are the same as furniture from [...].  There were a few extra touches that I'm not used to that were nice.  The back panel is made out of 1/8" wood panels that slide into groves.  The panels rattle a little bit but they included 8 plastic shims that are used to screw into the back that tightens everything up...wallah...no rattle.  The piece was engineered well as there are very few gaps between panels. I had some very specific dimension and storage requirements and this fit both perfectly.  Overall, I'm pretty happy with the piece.
