I love the way this stand looks visually however, I will admit it is made very, very cheap. You would not necessarily know it though from a distance. It's only when you lean down to retrieve something from inside that you can feel and see how "basic" it is. I wanted something with clean lines and very linear and this piece provides that so all in all I love it. It's cheap enough that if I ever need to replace it in the future it won't be a huge loss. I was also told that it was a pain to assemble so depending on how technically inclined you are it may be something to think about.
