This is a beautiful piece once it is put together - very nice quality.  But beware:  we almost returned it halfway through assembly because it was a nightmare to put together.  The pieces are so heavy that there has to be some SERIOUS strength involved.  Unless you are an expert with this kind of thing, and weight at least 200 lbs. and work out, don't purchase this unless you plan  to get help in assembling it.  Well worth it in the end!  Just wish that, for the money, some of the assembly could have been done prior to shipping!
