I'm pleased with this dresser so far. I put it together myself without any troubles and I am satisfied with the construction materials. My 300lb husband sat in the smack dab middle of the dresser *eye roll* when I showed it to him and the top bent and touched the edge of the first drawer but when he got off it went back to normal and there wasn't any damage. I DO NOT recommend anyone to do that but it did give me reassurance that it is a strong piece of furniture.
