This peice makes a STATEMENT. I ordered two and they are much thicker than I expected. I wouldn't say 'bulkier' because the design is still mid century modern with a sleekness to it but you can definitely feel the presence of the tables. They are very nice quality - I am not sure if it is truly solid wood or just a wooden veneer but it was listed as solid wood. Either way nice quality product and I love the wow factor.
