I realize this is my problem for not paying attention to what the actual drawer is made from. I don't know why I didn't connect the pieces that the drawers are no different than a fabric cube that is sold everywhere. They hold a lot of stuff, but this particular item is only a temporary make shift to a solid dresser/chest with drawers.  The quality is ehhh... The setup is super easy. The total size of the unit is small but works. Honestly it depends on what the person and their specific need. I won't be using this product long term, so for me it will work temporarily.
