This might be just the right thing for you but in my  home it threw  the balance of the room off because it's so substantial looking in person.  Had a hard time trying to put together,  Usually I have good luck with all the practice over the years.  It could be cool in the right home for sure.  Be aware not to let the long screws puncture the top shelf is my advice.  It's also a very shiny laquered looking surface which adds to its propensity to take over a room because it draws the attention.
