I debated whether to spend much more ($1000-$1500) on an armoire, but decided this was a more practical decision. There are things that reflect the price (such as softer wood and it's not as sturdy as some of the antique armoires I considered), but this really does look beautiful in our room, and wasn't that hard for my husband and I to assemble. And as other reviewers note, once you start to fill the wardrobe it becomes sturdier.  

Pros: For the price this is a beautiful piece of furniture
Cons: soft wood
