This is a heavy piece and quite elaborate to assemble. But the finished product looks excellent and high quality. The only downside is the drawers are quite small. I had planned on using them to store some of our nicer quality serving utensils, candlesticks, etc., but found they wouldn't even fit due to the depth of the drawers. While it's a nice piece and looks gorgeous in a formal dining room, I'd hesitate to purchase again based on the drawers.
