This is a beautiful, modern design executed in mediocre-to-cheap materials.  The result is sturdy enough, and attractive enough from a distance.  Hopefully it will stand the test of time and not warp or rust.  But using solid wood (instead of laminate over particle board) and heavier duty metal (instead of relatively thin, hollow tubing) would have made for a centerpiece, instead of something that needs to sit in the background.  As executed, it's a great value and relatively easy to assemble... just not the classy, quality piece I'd hoped.  Also be aware that the underside of the shelves is unattractive due to exposed cam locks... which is probably why they don't offer a taller version.
