This is a very sturdy piece of furniture- it is actually really really heavy and does not look or feel like an inexpensive piece. I was deciding between this and spending hundreds more at a more designer store, and I am so glad I did not spend the extra money- this is just as good. The only reason I have it 4 stars is because this inside of the three drawers is not smooth white wood but rather a gray color that looks less polished. But I am happy with my purchase!
