We love this piece.  It's really perfect for our space behind our sofa.  The item is solid wood, minimalistic in design and oh-so easy to put together...4 bolts.  Now, the one thing that could be an issue for some is its sturdiness.  It could be considered a bit top-heavy, however they do provide a stabilization 'system' to mitigate that....we can't use because of our location, however do not feel this is an issue for us.
