I bought this as an affordable storage solution.  It does seem to be sturdy, but the assembly process is not for amateurs.  Only problem I have had is I don't think I screwed in the drawer glides perfectly flush and the drawers want to stick.  Be sure to do that particular step very carefully.  The only other thing is the screws are exposed on the outter sides.  It is a big piece of furniture.  Be sure to measure.
