I LOVE THE LOOK OF THIS ENTERTAINMENT CENTER!!!  Now that being said, it definitely isn't all I had hoped for.  When buying, just be prepared that this piece of furniture does not have a lick of real wood on it.  It is certainly heavy, but not from solid wood construction.  I could see if this was in a high traffic situation (like a coffee table) that it would get scarred up too easily from wear and tear.  Also be prepared for a good solid day of assembly.  It isn't difficult, just takes awhile.
