This is a sturdy, beautiful vanity! The drawers and frame are solid wood and the shelf is thick engineered wood and screwed into place (but there are holes to adjust up or down). The back is open which makes fitting the water lines easier. The top is lovely and has no imperfections. I only wish the drawer knobs were matte instead of chrome. The drawers are pretty small but I was happy to find a unit with multiple drawers in this vanity size.
