The metal is EXTREMELY thin.  The bottom is not solid - it's cut out so you can see the bottom of the bottom drawer.  Because the cabinet is made of such cheap, thin "metal", even a heavy printer on the top won't balance it.  You open a drawer and better be prepared - it's going to fall over on you.  The drawers do not extend all the way out, you'll have about 3" of drawer space that you can't access easily.  Overall, I am extremely disappointed in this item.  The hassle and cost to return is not worth it.  It's a lesson learned.  This one is pretty much junk and certainly NOT worth the money.  It's more like a $25 item, if that.
