This piece was originally damaged in transit and was replaced by Wayfair at no additional charge.  The replacement was in very good condition except for the back panel.  This is secured only with staples and had started to detach in transit.  Was able to reattach and further strengthen with some wood screws.   The manufacturer really needs to reconsider the design from  this perspective.  Otherwise the piece is perfect for my needs and  it looks really good and apart from that pesky back panel it is a really nice quality item.   So come on manufacturer stop skimping on this element.  It is dumb to make a nice piece of furniture except for this one shoddy element that could so easily be upgraded and improved!
