First off-- I love the look if this peice. I've gotten tons of compliments. I'm giving it three stars bc the assembly is quite questionable.  The peices themselves are heavy and robust, but the locking screws (think standard ik*a furniture) are plastic instead of metal, and the whole thing twists when you try to lock them, making them very difficult to lock into place, and I stripped several of the screws. Again, I LOVE the furniture peice. I just wish it were made just a little bit better.
