Quality is just okay, basically plastic veneer fake wood. Assembly was a tough one, harder than typical Ikea-like furniture. All parts were there and all holes aligned properly, but it took nearly 3 hours to assemble. Instructions were pictures-only and it took a bit of smarts to work it all out. It will work for our needs in a basement rec-room area, but not an expensive looking piece of furniture - but we did not expect it to be. One final note - the single box it comes in weighs about 110 lbs. Plan on being there to help your local delivery driver unload it - it's a load for just one person.
