This is a very well made piece of furniture.  I just love it! I was pleasantly surprised to see the nice self closing hinges too. My son and I put it together in an afternoon. The instructions are easy to follow and all the pieces went together just as they should. It has lots of space. We left the middle shelf out so I could put my tall vases and other talk things  It worked out great and we have room for more. Fits perfect in my dining room. Love it!
