As others have noted, this furniture is made entirely of manufactured wood. So it's heavy. However, the finish and overall quality are very good for the price. The furniture with metal legs that we also looked at was substantially more expensive. Shipping was quick, just a few days from order to delivery. Unpacking and assembly took maybe half an hour. All parts were present, and the instructions very clear. Everything fit together well. The 60+ pound shipping box had obviously been dropped on two of the corners, but it was well packed and the parts were not damaged at all. Very happy with the purchase.
