This piece is worth the money, in terms of looks and sturdiness.  It is NOT great in terms of assembly.  This thing had easily 100 pieces of hardware (all of which came in a ziploc type bag, unmarked), and the instructions were nothing more than a kindergartner's illustration of how to assemble the piece!  LITERALLY, every single screw, bolt, nut, peg, etc. was just in a bag-- and ABSOLUTELY ZERO description of the pieces were given (size, color, etc) beyond Part A,B,C, etc.  Which would be fine except that every other part looked identical within a few millimeters of one another.  
Once we got it together (keep in mind, I'm a machinist by trade, so building things is my profession), it looked great and my wife was pleased.  Hoping that it holds up enough to be worth it.

Pros: Attractive, reasonably priced, seems sturdy enough.
Cons: HORRIBLE directions, tons of time to assemble, poor allocation of part identification.
