I see that a number of people had damaged parts or badly manufactured parts. All of the parts i received were manufactured properly and no damage to be seen. In fact, every single little hole was drilled to the millimeter so that the pieces could all fit together perfectly. I also saw some reviews saying this was difficult to assemble. I dont know what planet people are living on but I have never encountered a more easy to assemble piece of furniture. I was shocked that the different boards literally had identifiers on them (e.g. C1, D1 as did the screws and nails and other connectors (e.g., e330, f220). Every single thing you needed could be identified by numerical labels / no guess and check like Ikea or West Elm furniture.
With that said, there is a downside to this unit. It is very tall, and the sturdiness of it is not perfect. It only fastens to boards at the very bottom and very top of the unit, which are about 6 feet apart. When you stand it up, if you push on the sides, it will bend/flex a little bit. Its not terrible but just not great. I think what they need is either a thick solid back (a board rather than a piece of cardboard nailed in) OR, more easily, a middle shelf that fastens in with connectors like the top and bottom pieces. I understand this would make the shelf not flexible to move up or down, but it would make the overall unit more sturdy.
At the end of the day, this is a high quality piece of furniture that is easy to assemble and does the job, given the price.
Easy to assemble, decent quality
