This was a WayDay deal, and I'm so glad I bought it.  Wish I had bought several more, in fact.  It's solid wood, making it sturdy.  Yet it doesn't weigh a million pounds.  Also, it was incredibly simple to put together.  I put it together on my own in less than 30 minutes - which includes the 5 minutes I spent getting it out of the box (it was very well packed in there).
