Heavy, sturdy.  GREAT piece of furniture!!!  Lots of assembly and hardware HOWEVER that’s good bc it helps with the sturdy factor.  Very impressive for the price.  Assembly 2 hours but nothing difficult.  Just lots of pieces and making double sure to get  it right bc the directions (aka pics) aren’t 100 helpful.  DOWNSIDE is the back piece.  You know the poster board you buy to do school projects  That’s about what the backing is.  Disappointing. I fully expect to have to replace that with a piece of plywood.  However I’d buy another one. Awesome product for the price!!
