I've bought quite a bit of furniture that you put together yourself, most of which was a little flimsy and didn't wear too well over time - This is good though. Looks real good. It's heavy-duty stuff. You'll need at least one other person, or 2 or 3, to move the unopened box! I told ya it's heavy duty stuff! I bought 2 of these and the big TV stand for the center, and it looks & works great!
