Ive owned this since June of 2020 so I figured it was time to write a review. This has easily become one of my favorite piece of furniture I own and can see myself keeping it for a long time to come. As other reviewers have stated, its not the easiest thing to put together but from what I remember the instructions were pretty clear for everything except the fireplace. At this point I cant remember if it was my own error but I do remember having to go back and take a couple pieces apart again to be able to fit the fireplace in properly.
It is laminated particle board/MDF, so best case scenario its still not the most durable and I can imagine the issues people would have if theyre not extremely careful with it. It does help that there are not only metal legs for it to stand on, but that metal extends into an entire frame beneath it to help support it. It did survive one move with no damage and otherwise I barely touch it except to decorate it. I have no kids, only pets, so the worst thing that has happened to it is my cat knocked some water over on it and I didnt notice for maybe an hour, so there is some minor swelling under the laminate but isnt very noticeable.
All in all, it was a great purchase for me and is one of my most unique and favorite pieces I own!
In great condition after a year!
