Okay, first I have to say that I didnt pay the full 300 that many other customers did. My cost was approximately 170 with free shipping. It is very light, but that actually works for me as I have to install it myself and would have difficulty with a heavier unit. Its a striking piece, but it was not made with high-end materials. I guesstimate that the value should be closer to 120, not 170, and definitely not 300!  So overall I am happy with the way it looks and the storage capacity.  I havent installed it yet so I cant speak to that issue, wish me luck!
