Overall I am happy with this piece for the price. Packaging was a bit minimal and there was a chip in one of the pieces I received. I'm sure they would have replaced that board had I asked, but in the interest of getting it assembled quickly I just dabbed some white paint on it and it looks fine. I was able to assemble it by myself (at 8 months pregnant) in about an hour and a half. It's particle board, and not heirloom quality, but the shelves seem sturdy and the bins are large enough to fit a lot of toys and books. My 1 year old daughter loves putting her toys away by herself into these bins and our living room looks much better for it!
