For the price, this is a reasonable piece of furniture.  I give it 3 stars because the veneer finish has some defects in some places which will occur as part of the manufacturing process and the drawer slides could be improved as well.  Assembly was easy and quick so that's always nice.  On carpet, these will need to be weighted down with books so they don't wobble.  Overall I'm pleased with the purchase but don't expect anything amazing.  Would be great for students.
