I bought the same one many years ago from Staples, they're made of
particle board covered with fake wood grain paper, but they are
inexpensive and worth it for storage space, however they don't hold up
well to humidity. Mine is now in my basement, stores old computer
cables and anything computer related, mostly obsolete stuff but every
so often someone with an old PC needs a cable. I have several pieces
of that sort of furniture, a couple of file cabinets, three bookcases,
a TV stand, and probably a couple others I can't think of right now.
Oh, I even had a corner PC desk that I left where I lived last, a huge
thing it was heavy and too big to fit through the doorway and I didn't
feel like taking it apart, nor did I really want it, so I left it for
the new owners.
