This is HEAVY! It comes in a box big enough for it to be put together, but surprise, it is in a million pieces.  This was a long put together and my husband hated me for it.  Once put together the back is a thin masonite, which is a lighter color.  Since I was putting it somewhere that the back would show, we covered with a contact paper that hid that problem.  Looks good, very sturdy, but worth the build??

Pros: Heavy duty
Cons: not real wood, back is not the same espresso
