Ok, but if I had it to do over again Id look elsewhere
Reading the reviews I had been worried about the condition it would arrive in. Those fears were instantly squashed upon opening. It is packaged to be thrown around by the angriest delivery driver the world has seen! This is both good and bad. The good is there was no damage. The bad, I will be cleaning styrofoam peas from my home for weeks. UNBOX THIS OUTDOORS IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY. Assembly was toolless and simple. I took the extra step to put some wood glue in all of the joints which should keep it from slowly loosening. The drawers are wood on wood slide so some wax helps but the reality is this is for looking at and will seldom be used. I rated down 2 stars for 3 reasons: 1. the aforementioned packaging
2. The sizing is incorrect as it is not 40 inches wide , mine measured 35.5 and while this isnt a huge deal, we had hung pictures in advance based on 40.
3. It is absolutely not solid pine. There is an abundance of MDF in this product which means it is susceptible to off gassing for a while. The bottom appears to be completely veneered mdf as does the main box.
Overall its ok, not great
