UPDATE: I pulled out a drawer and the whole bottom came out. Yes, now that the Ikea Alex is back in stock I am ordering that one because it is so much sturdier and better built. If you want to store feathers in the drawers you will be fine, but buyer beware do not put anything heavy in the drawers. Reducing review by another star for this.
Is this cabinet Ikea Alex sturdy - no, but that was out of stock and this one was able to ship fast and looks nice. Now it was a pain to put together as the Alex cabinet comes with the runners already installed and for this one you have to screw in each runner with multiple screws - seriously it took me about 2.5 hours to get it together and I am pretty handy. By contrast my other Ikea Alex took about a half hour/45 minutes.
I am not sure how it will age, but once put together it looks nice and the drawers operate. If I had a need again I would rebuy.
Nice cabinet that does the job.
