very heavy product as it is not all wood.
the side pic taken does not show that the back post is too visible for a nice full-front look. in my opinion, for this style, top shelf should be 4 inches lower so back post is not so visible. 
Fully assembled the item could be more sturdy then it is.
* Recent update: this product is available at local furniture for $199 CDN (assembled)
i do not like this.
