Looks good, but ... Where it says "elegant fruitwood finish" you might think, as I did, that that means a real wood veneer, and just like me you would be wrong. The finish is some kind of contact paper or painted on stuff that can be damaged with very little effort. This on top of some pressed together saw dust. If you never intend on moving it it should hold up OK if your gentle. Putting it together is pretty straight forward, but very time consuming. I bought the whole set and every piece had damage, most of it out of sight, but still. Bottomline, unless you live in the middle of no where, check around and look for sales and you'll be able to get "solid" real wood furniture that you'll be much happier with for the same price or a little more.

So disappointed when I received this item; nowhere does it state that it is all made of MDF! Also, the veneer is a paper one! The price tag on this is too much ... for basically pressed sawdust and paper veneer. ... They really need to be more specific with what this is made of ... If I could give it a 0 star, I would. Also, the thing is so heavy!

This was one of my first purchases from Sauder along with some bookshelves. Looking at other sites for reviews I found out what this was made from but seemed nice and well put together and fit with the budget we had for our guest bedroom.

Instructions were easy to understand, parts labeled and a snap to put together. No pieces were damaged and after almost 3 years of use, they don't show any signs of wear, but then again these pieces were for a guest bedroom, so it won't have the same wear as "every day" rooms.

Really I have nothing bad to say about this product, so far I've been pleasantly surprised about the quality even though its particle board construction, its nicely made and held up well for 3 years.

If you are after high quality (ie hardwood) pieces, this is not for you, if you want something nice and stylish that don't cost a fortune you might want to consider this.
