The unit is sturdy and looks like you paid a $ 1000.00 plus for it. I shopped around and found units like this priced between 800 and 1500 bucks. The unit was a bit heavy to bring in the house so if you can not lift or push 100lbs get a dolly. The front and back are attached made it a 10 minute snap to put together. Literally 4 screws and some pegs. I love this new piece in my house really opened up the room and even made the TV look better:) Would recommend this piece to anyone, great price, great quality.
