I wanted this for my bedroom, as a place to sit and put on / take off my shoes. Its perfectly adequate. Its not quite as strong or stout as what Ive come to expect from IKEA, but it looks good and itll get the job done. The finish matches my other Espresso colored furniture that were purchased from various other sources. If you are a ninja master of building IKEA furniture, like I am, you can have this assembled in about 30 / 40 minutes. My only REAL complaint or concern is that the cam locks used in this piece are not very strong at all and some felt like they didnt even lock in all the way. As others have said, I doubt this will last 10 years, and I would be surprised if it survived a move to a new house. The size, look, and finish are exactly what I was hoping for. For the price, with free shipping this was a good buy!
