@OnTheBlitz Thankfully not mine. Someone on the Steve Hoffman forum posted this and it's haunted my nightmares ever since! That being said, as others will point out, the structure of this particular unit was weakened by an improper build. I use it to remind myself not to overstock furniture or assume it's invincible.
Never did like furniture made of particle board (or known as MDF). Just for the reason you've mentioned. However, if designed properly and built properly, it can be sturdy. As long as it is covered with real wood or simulated veneer, it's okay ....or else you're breathing in Formaldehyde. Good stuff, not....
