I do like the look, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Also, once it's put together, it is stable and sturdy. However, I think it's a bit over-priced for its level of quality. After reading reviews, I was ready for possible shipping damage and for the screws to be low quality and prone to break. I, too, was disappointed about the screws, not just because of the low quality, but because there were no extras in the package in case of breaking. I had to find something in my personal screw stash to replace the two that broke on me. Also, one of the pieces was damaged in shipping, so I had to get a replacement.
