First of all this came in record time, even over the holidays. It's very sturdy, high quality and really looks like solid wood. Even the back of the cabinet has wood patterning. No short cuts on this! I loved how this was a blend of rustic and modern, a sort of 1930-1940s vibe. Perfect for out living room and I'm not worried about it tipping over on my toddler either! Took about 2 hours to assemble but I was also watching tv at the same time so not bad honestly! Good instructions, well labeled.
