absolute JUNK...Yes, it's very cheap, but not worth the money. Doesn't go together smoothly, so there are a lot of gaps & crooked pieces. The outside pieces show the particle board instead of the design (unless you tuck it into a corner completely or put something to there to hide the end). My goal was to buy the $200 pieces that would allow me to keep shopping for the real wood final pieces. THIS piece completely wasted my money & I will be replacing it sooner rather than later :(
