I love this piece, it's actually a lot larger than I had anticipated and the wood is really nice and heavy. 

My only downside is that the spring "arm" piece that came to facilitate the top opening was broken and so I had to go find a suitable part at the home depot myself. That was a bummer, but not enough to make me want to send the piece back because I am using it for a TV stand and I don't even need the top to lift for a record player--right now at least.
