This is great! I bought 2 for just over $140. I was looking for a nightstand with a drawer and a large space cabinet this was perfect and matches my brown-themed bedroom decor too!
The description says it's SOLID fir wood, I assumed it was heavier but I guess fir wood is light. It's not flimsy by any means though. So don't worry.
I love that it's rustic looking in design and the distressed wood detail makes it more quaint.
I wouldn't pay more than $150 for one of these though. But for the price I paid, and the convenience of AMAZON shipping, I give this product 5 stars!

First, the arrival: VERY well-packaged to protect the cabinet during shipping. Second, the weight: looks substantial, yet it's lightweight enough for an old broad like me to easily lift it. Third, the finish disappointed me at first glance because the grooves in the wood are not stained like the other wood. They have the look of raw, yellowish wood. It didn't affect the cabinet's appearance from a distance, but each time I was near it, I wished the grooves were brown. Finally, I took care of that with my water color paint and the results were great. Now the cabinet looks good from both a distance and up close.There's one other thing you should know about the finish: it's not smooth. That's in keeping with the distressed, rustic look, but it'll make dusting a bit of a problem. I think I'll use a feather duster on it because I suspect my Swiffer dust cloths will snag on it.
The cabinet now sits in my bathroom where it's holding a LOT of toilet paper. An antique pot with a plant sits on top. It's great to finally have some storage in the bathroom. I spent years looking for the right piece to put there.
Disclaimer: I live in a house that's well over 100 years old. The cabinet fits right in, but someone with a more modern home and decor might be better off looking for something else. This cabinet looks good with my antiques.
A word about delivery: I started ordering the cabinet in August on Amazon pages that said the item was in stock. My first order was supposedly shipped, but it never arrived. Didn't even get listed as "in transit"; just "left the seller's facility". Amazon then placed a replacement order for me and deleted the first one. After waiting for quite a while for it to go into "shipped", I emailed Amazon and learned that the product wasn't actually in stock. That order was canceled. Then I saw the cabinet offered by a third-party seller, again stating it was "in stock". That, too, turned out to be false and the order was canceled. Then another vendor offered it as "in stock". That one was also false. Finally, after a long wait, Amazon (and other sellers on Amazon's site) said it was in stock (by then, it was October. This time, the order I placed went through -resulting in delivery today (Oct. 17th).
Several times when placing my multiple orders, I was on the verge of just giving up and looking for something else, but this cabinet kept drawing me back. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted it. Today I'm very glad I hung in there because this is exactly what I hoped it would be. I'm telling you all this because you, too, may find delays along the way. This is a drop-ship item, so sellers can go by only what the manufacturer tells them about availability. It seems sellers are the last to know when the item is on back order.
Also, be aware the price keeps bouncing around. Sometimes there's hundreds of dollars difference in the prices you'll find on Amazon, depending on who the seller is. Even when it's sold and fulfilled by Amazon, the price can vary significantly from one day to another. I learned this over the months I spent monitoring the availability of the cabinet.
