Read the reviews on this piece, I did, and saw the theme of "looks great" and "takes a long time to build," so I consulted my husband before making the purchase for our shared home office space, and he said he was willing to put the sweat into it since the reviews were good about how it looked.  We actually selected this one over a more expensive one and so glad we did.  Yes, you'll spend a lot of time building this.  Be organized and take your time reading the directions.  However, your end result will look like your spent over $1000 at a high end store.  We really like how this looks!  Beautiful!

Pros: Beautiful, sturdy, modern-looking, appears to be wood instead of veneer
Cons: Takes a long time to build and a lot of space, but so worth it!
