Nice, sturdy piece that holds a lot.  I needed another bookshelf to set behind my love-seat and this did the trick!  I wish it was real wood (who doesn't), but it looks close enough to it that aesthetically it's pretty unnoticeable.  The finish color is great and warm, and adds to my living room nicely.  Assembly was relatively easy - but there are a lot of bolts and screws, so be warned on that front.  Overall, would buy again.
