This is a pretty solid unit; we ended up with a couple minor deformities at the back on one side: one from a slightly crooked nail (user error) and one where a dowel didnt seat deeply enough and caused the adjoining surface to deform when the adjacent screws were tightened. Its not too bad though, and youd only see the deformation if youre looking for it.
Otherwise, the unit looks good and the doors and backpieces are well/aligned. The instructions were 90 super clear to follow and well/labelled. Two pieces werent labelled, but we were able to identify them fairly easily. My only complaint with assembly is that in the instructions it wasnt clear what directions the finished edges should face, and we ended up with one piece technically upside down. But its at the back of the lower cupboard and generally wont be seen.
Overall a quality piece for what it is / yes, its mass/produced pressboard, but its as solid as it gets without buying actual wood furniture.
Sturdy and has good instructions
