Solid and good looking! You need to be patient in putting it together, and it’s heavier than you think, so a two man job, at least in the later stages. The instructions are easy to follow and the unit goes together in such a way that it feels very solid - no wobbling. There’s a lot of cardboard packaging to manage, so be prepared for that. A very impressive piece of furniture which we’re very pleased with. It looks more expensive than it is.
