We purchased this piece in the espresso finish for our living room.  We were looking for a quality piece for a low price, and we were not disappointed. It is a sturdy, heavy, quality piece (not flimsy at all) and has surprising depth to the finish.  The beadboard on the sides of the bookcase are a great detail.  The shelves are also adjustable, which is a huge plus.  The assembly went quickly and easily.  Very pleased with our purchase.
