Very nice looking and seems quite sturdy. Some of the assembly was a little bit tricky (Thus 4 stars instead of 5. I would have given it a 4.5, but that choice wasn't available), and it's quite a heavy piece of furniture which posed a few challenges for me and a friend (I'm sure someone younger with more upper-body strength would have no issues). Very pleased with the purchase so far...it's only been assembled and in use a couple days.
