Absolutely gorgeous and very sturdy. The entire family just loves it! My 2 and 3 year-old regularly climb on it and love to sit on it. The gaps serve as parking spots for my sons toy cars. And my husband, who never cared much about furniture, keeps mentioning how unique and nice it looks. Some pieces could have perhaps used some more sanding but we dont mind; it actually goes well with the industrial design of our living room. A statement and conversation piece. It gives the room so much character...
