The description said solid birch - it is not! It is poor quality laminate veneered particle board. The fasteners are also poor quality.It has an unfinished back, with cheap plastic exposed corner fasteners. I used half a bottle of gorilla glue in assembling this because I was nervous about the ability of the fasteners to hold it together, If I had not purchased on-line and could have returned to a local store I would have.
FURTHERMORE.....
- the joints do not come together and show 1/8" gaps in places
- there was seven wooden assembly dowels included - it needs 8
- the instructions skip several steps. If I were not an architect and used to figuring out 3d assemblies, I am not sure I'd have been able to assemble it.
I have never written a negative on-line review before, but this product was such a poor overall package that I feel compelled to.

- Please tell us about the quality of the product. poor
