This is a really great piece that is high quality and very attractive.  The wood is actual, real wood--not covered pressed board--and the metal is also really nice.  We also liked the versatility of it.  We ended up using one of the tower ends with the center section, and then we put the other tower end in a different location and are using it as a bit of a "mini bar."  We added wine glass holders to the bottom of the upper shelf, and it works great.
