It is as pretty as the picture however I was a little Disappointed in the quality.  I was expecting particle board, which it is, but it just seems to be lower quality than I was hoping for.  It's along the lines of "Walmart" in quality of materials (the paint around the pre-drilled holes chipped easily as well) but nicer in style and sturdiness/stability.  It's very stable, even on carpet.  It is in my daughter's room and she is gentle with her furniture so it should do well.
