Literally Fell Apart When Assembling. Please see photos
I bought a T.V. stand from the same manufacture and it was very solid despite being pressed wood. This storage cabinet however literally crumbled into pieces when I assembled it.
I was going to return it, but unfortunately returning it would require having a right size box that UPS would accept. The cabinet was packaged very securely, stapled and glued very firmly which is good. However, that meant it wasnt possible to preserve the box when opening it. I should have just opened it on one side rather than open it all the way. So, instead of returning it by spending a small fortune on a new box, I decided to get my wood filler, paint and extra screws and just repaired the thing myself. The back of the cabinet is just cardboard painted on one side, so it will always have to be by a wall or something. The top coating is paper thin, so with one bump or scratch it comes off. As you can see from the photos, some parts just fell off. Others broke under their own weight. At best, I would consider this furniture temporary and disposable as it would not likely survive a move.
