Make from solid, soft, wood. Many parts, the hardware is adequate but not great. I found it necessary to drill a few pilot holes. One piece was broken and I had to order a new one for free from their web page, it was easy to do. This will take some time to assemble and many people may find it to be just to much trouble. Instructions are ok but could and should be better. Basically you are saving money on a solid wood product by investing your time in assembling it. It's up to you if that is worth it.

It's made of wood but very cheap pine. It isn't sturdy at all, feels like it will break in a month. The drawers don't slide smoothly. Not worth it.

Once together, this product is great, super sturdy and definitely serves its purpose. It is also short enough to fit under a desk if needed.Assembly started out a little complicated. I did have to undo one part because I got the pieces mixed up with the pictures provided. Take it slow and you’ll be fine. My big tip - use an electric screwdriver or drill. The “self-tapping” screws make it a little harder if it’s just one person putting it together and you use the provided tool or normal screwdriver. One drawer took me over 30 minutes to put together by hand, but with my drill, I had the rest done in less time than it took for the one.

Wanted for art supplies storage, very poorly made ,holes drilled in wrong places or out line ,of back wrongsize with huge non removable labelTakes long time to assemble and the end result is crappy. BACK MASONITE NOT DRILLEDfor nailing ,drawer assembly hit or miss as no pilot holes to guide screws straightDO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DECENT,

This chest is better than you are thinking or hoping it will be. If you've been burned by junk from 3rd party sellers on Amazon that doesn't live up to the reviews, this piece will restore your faith in some manufacturers and maybe even Amazon. This unit literally comes from the Amazon (the river, not the junk store), being made in Brazil. Maybe that's why it isn't falling apart before you even receive it or put it together like products from the "far east".The drawers really are made of solid wood. Yes it is pine but it is very clear pine and you aren't going to get anything but manufactured wood for the price of the unit. It goes together just like things used to using real carpentry skills (easy) and hardware. I had no missing predrilled holes as reported by some. The drawer boxes go together with half rabbit lap joints and simple screws without predrilled holes that could result in loose screws. Some people may see that as a problem, I consider it normal furniture construction, without flat-pack weird hardware. I can see that step being hard for some folks that can't drive a screw into soft pine or keep the drawer parts aligned with a helper or a clamp -- a 90 degree picture frame clamp for the win.This is the best finished piece of real wood furniture I've seen in anything like this price class. I could not finish it better. Don't love the orangish color but it has been applied professionally with care, not what we're all becoming used to.If you need a cabinet that fits under a desk, holds a lot, looks pretty darned good, and isn't junk, you're looking at what may be your best option that isn't $800.

Beware of the following:1) I purchased this because I had a 26" clearance, and it said it was 25.45" tall. Turned out to be over 26".2) Beware the manufacturing quality. Starting with installation of wheels, I had to redrill a hole for the wheel mount inserts and then shave the insert to get it in after much hammering.3) There are NO pilot holes for screws. Th "so called" self-drilling screws were not. I had to physically drill pilot holes for all screws.4) There are no labels on any of the parts.5) Out of the 6 drawers, once two were in place they would not slide in and out and the other 4 I couldn't even get in. Very poor manufacturing tolerances. Very cheap plastic drawer slides.Good luck with your assembly. I ended up ditching this unit and getting another brand.

This is a do-it-yourself kit. You should have some experience with hand tools and with building furniture kits.It's a bit tricky to put together so don't try to do it on the floor. Build it on a bench or table. Use some of the cardboard carton to protect the cart and the surface you're working on. Tools needed, the included instructions notwithstanding: #2 Phillips screwdriver, electric screwdriver with #2 Phillips bit, rubber mallet (a piece of soft wood and a metal hammer should work fine). accurate small square, wood glue (for loose dowels).Optional: I used small sheet metal screws to attach the back panel. #4 x 1/2" is about right. You may require a #1 Phillips bit/screwdriver for the small screws. Driving nails through MDF is no fun, so drill pilot holes for the screws if you use them. A 7/64" or #32 drill bit is about right for a #4 screw. Drill just the MDF, not the cabinet wood. Keep checking with that square.Some screw holes in the cabinet are pre-drilled but not all. Do not try to assemble this without an electric screwdriver of some sort. If you can set the torque, set it for a low value and finish driving the screw by hand. Be careful as the wood is soft.The cabinet goes together pretty easily. There are directions, but look at the drawings and the parts and you may see an easier way to assemble it.Check it continually with a good square. Some of the dowels are undersized. Don't bother sending for more; just use a little Elmer's wood worker's glue for the loose ones.The drawers are another matter. There are no pilot holes for the screws. You have to hold the parts carefully in position and then drive in one screw in each corner. Use the drawer bottom to hold the front and two sides fairly square. Keep checking with the square. Use your fingers to make sure the parts are flush before driving a screw.The screws do go in easily, but make sure they are right the first time as getting a screw to go in right next to a hole that's a little off is pretty difficult.Once all five parts of the drawer are assembled, check again for squareness and then put in the remaining screws.The ends of the parts and drawer bottoms are quite square, so once the screws are tightened, the drawer comes out pretty well.The drawer slides work pretty well but there are no drawer stops so use caution when pulling out a loaded drawer.The included casters are a waste time on carpet although they work OK on a hard floor. Instead, look for an inexpensive set of non-marring (grey) casters at least 2" in diameter. Get plate casters, not stem casters. Amazon is a good source. Mount with four small Phillips or square drive screws. You might want to source the screws locally so that the heads won't pull through the holes in the caster plate but also won't interfere with the swivelling on the caster.Good luck.Recommended with the above caveats.
