It’s sturdy and is made mostly of wood. Directions are clear. It does require predrilling holes and it’s challenging to do without an electric screwdriver but using one would risk cracking the wood. The side panels are already assembled! Relatively easy to assemble if the directions are followed. All the drawer slides have to be attached which is not fun. It’s a decent piece of furniture for the price and I would buy again. My complaints are that the face of the drawers has some marring and scratching. I didn’t feel like going through the return policy. However Wayfair has been very fair about replacing items that were damaged in the past. This furniture will easily scratch if not careful. Otherwise it’s great for the money. Looks just like the pic.
