These are extremely heavy duty and are a great addition to our living room.  My husband put them together pretty quickly and they have withstood several months of dog tails, tweens and ball bouncing.  The first time I moved one on my own I said "oh wow, that's heavy!"  They don't slide on our wood floors and have made a nice addition to our living room.  The styling on them is evolving, but I've received lots of compliments.
