Make sure you double check the height. The things I liked most about this item was the size and style. The size was great for me, its a pretty good size and was actually a little bigger in person than I expected just by looking at measurements. And I love the actual design of the piece. BUT I did have a few issues and these are things I honestly saw mentioned in other reviews as well. To start with/ when we finally got the package and opened it it was very clear someone had haphardly sprayed the foam stuff with the box still open bc it was stuck to the top of the box (on the inside/ which resulted in our instruction manual being basically super glued to the box, luckily it only soaked thru the first page or so and we could still read the instructions) and was on some of the pieces/ which sadly ended up being the two drawer fronts. My husband tried his best to get the stuff off but it was stuck on like super glue and was hard. He got a large majority of it off but there are still several spots on the front that you can plainly tell are messed up from where the foam spray was on it. So I will be contacting the seller about that to request two new drawer fronts. I will follow up on that once I speak with them. Now beyond that large annoyance/ overall I do like this piece. Im not a super picky, uppity person about these things so as far as it being pressed wood and, as some others stated, cheaper feeling this wasnt a big bother to me. The sturdiness is as expected with pressed wood furniture. I think its pretty much fine for my standards. Obviously it can be scratched up kinda easier, etc, but again thats not a huge bother to us. The one thing I will say about the quality is that, again as others stated, I noticed that the drawers were a little crooked. Mine werent super bad so again it didnt bother me. Its not something I would notice in day to day life. I just happen to notice bc I was sitting in the floor eye level with the drawers while putting them in/ in my case lol. It also wasnt hard to put together at all for me but it did take about maybe 30 mins all together and I move kinda slow lol. The only other thing I will say is that I personally feel given some of these things that the price is high in my opinion. Now if the quality/packing/ etc was better then I might be able to see it being closer to the price it has. Overall, I do like it a lot despite those things. Do I wish I paid less? Yes. Am I going to dwell on it and what not? No. I read a lot of the reviews so I honestly had a little expectation that it would be less than perfect anyways. So I was prepared to possibly want to send it back, etc. I see a lot of overpriced cheap furniture now days not just on so for me personally this was no different than going to Walmart and buying a Mainstays brand furniture piece as far as quality and standards go!
Could be better, could be worse
