As described woods a lil darker than photo well I wouldn’t say it’s heavy duty. I would say it’s pretty well built. The doors are easy to open and close, but they do pose a little bit of wear and tear if used very often and doors can slide off of groove pretty easily putting it together wasn’t really that difficult. My husband was able to do iton his own, he just needed me to help him with moving the top and bottom overall I really like the design my TV is bigger than 60 inches. That’s why I look so huge. I also got a riser for my TV because it was just a little too low for my liking, but that’s because my TV had a low stand  happy shopping !!
