In my opinion this furniture is great for a guest room, which is what we intended it for, but it would not hold up well to day-to-day use.  You definitely get what you pay for.  Don't set your expectations too high.  Assembly is quite the project.  The dresser was not well packaged at all and the top was cracked.  I called the manufacturer and they replaced the piece with no problem, but I got the feeling this happens quite often.
