This piece is ufficent for our needs.  We opted for this less expensive piece, but definitely particle board type construction. If you have hyper dogs or your dog likes to chew alot might not hold up so well, but we have pretty low key pups.  The drawers also do not extend all the way back which seems like a waste of space a good like 5 inches or so short, not world ending but FYI 
definitely reccomend 2 people to put together the size makes assembly hard with only 1
