Very heavy, but this means very sturdy.  It is exactly what I needed for a doorless dining room I converted to a craft nook.  Two things that keep me from giving it 5 stars:   1. The picture is deceiving.   I expected a rich dark wood as pictured.  It is dull and rustic.  2. It smells very musty.  It is to cold to open the windows and no way to set outside in our condo building.
