Get what you pay for; not very sturdy shelf bottoms or backing
I bought this to sit atop the matching shelf/riser unit, and it fits wonderfully on the two dowels (1 each side), so it does exactly what I needed it to do. The assembly is fairly tricky, I consider myself good at this, and it was a mild challenge; I can see that if one is not mechanically inclined towards assembly, one may need assistance. The back panel is a laminated cardstock piece that is nailed on, so I have zero hopes in durability. Oddly, the instructions say to face the laminated side inwards (back of the drawers) which is silly, as once the drawers are in, youll never see it, but youll have a crappy cardstock back if you ever look behind the thing. The drawer bottoms are very thin and already have a bow in them; I cannot imagine putting anything of weight in this for very long. Still, for thirty-five bucks, itll do, donkey, itll do.
