Is the review that indicated that the bottom is made of cheap cardboard correct? Thanks

Actually, I can't tell if it's correct or not. What I CAN tell you is that it came packed extremely well, is very clean styled and sophisticated and very, very sturdy. Let me elaborate on that. I don't use this piece for clothing. I use it for serving pieces, flatware, dessert china and antique silverplate items, so the dresser is heavy duty enough to take a much heavier load than clothing. I love the style of it and the large, deep drawers and most of all, I loved the price and I'd compared prices all over the internet.

I unpacked and positioned multiple pieces from this collection and did not notice that. I sure haven't seen the "bottom" fail in anyway over the last 1.5 years. If there is cardboard, it isn't visible when the pieces are positioned on their feet with the back to the wall. I think they are a good value and great style. Could they be sturdier...Yes!, for this money & style, probably not. But I have not had any sturdiness issues with this collection of furniture. I would buy it again.

It is cheap. The back is a piece of cardboard make to look like oak. I was surprised, but overall it didn't look too bad, and is much more fragile that I had expected.

Janet, I posted some pictures of the item, one of them shows the bottom, you should have a look

I think it's pressboard, but yes, basically it's like laminated cardboard. The drawer bottoms are made from the same.

Not really. It's kind of a cardboard back....but this looks nice and the holes were lined up nicely for assembly, for a change. If you use this in an area that will not get wet it should hold up well with gentle use. I had one before and it wasn't up to the over-use. Also, when it got wet, the inside paper curled up and it fell apart. Hope this helps.

It seems like a really sturdy layered cardboard, so it's light. It's not metal or wood. The outer part is lightly padded and has a slightly plastic feel, so it would wipe clean pretty easily. I like mine a lot.

Appears to be cardboard. The whole thing is pressed wood, I think. Still, good for the price

It is. The outside of the bottom is a hard shell, but it feels like about an inch of padding beteeen that and the inside of the bottom. The inside of the bottom is still nylon fabric though, not something soft and fleecy.

The back is totally thin cardboard. The rest of it is pretty solid. I'm guessing not solid wood but it's a SOLID bookcase (could not move it by myself)

Hello #Inky yes it is cardboard and need to be assembled. I was quiet disappointed but after many family & friends visited my house they liked it a lot , no do not suggest you to show the back!!!!

Thank you for the inquiry. The bottom is plastic. If it s a sturdy piece. You just have to be careful about keeping the weight that is on top evenly distributed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and have a great day.Sincerley,Melissa Ward

Yes, there is a plastic piece on the bottom. The person I have it to as a gift loves it! She uses everyday for school.

No it's not cardboard. It's pretty sturdy, but flexible, and coated with a plastic coating, but absolutely not cardboard. I'm quite pleased with mine.

No, it says made of canvas but thats a typo. I bought it, no bottom. But u can buy the base for twenty bucks at most pet stores including petco and petsmart.

Yes, it is a cardboard. It looks pretty good, but it is indeed not wood. There are also around six flat round headed screws in the back through the backing and into the interior shelves. I took a picture of it but for some reason I don't see an option on this item to post customer pictures of the product.

Most of the trays are plastic and covered with fake velvet sort of stuff (glued on). I think the very bottom shelves are just black plastic. It works, but the whole thing is pretty low-quality. (I would have returned mine if it wouldn't have cost $35 in shipping.)
