Great piece overall. Absolutely NO particle board. The reason for 4 stars is that 2 issues slowed down the assembly. First, Not having pre-drilled holes for the attaching pieces made it a 2 person job. It would have been much better to have those and honestly simple to do since the other pieces did have them. The finish nails were the worst I have ever seen. We ended up having to find our own because they would either bend, were already bent in the package or the ends weren't even usable.
