I bought this because it looked sturdy and was the right size I needed as it is going in a closet, but let me tell you... it's beautiful!  The wood is gorgeous and the iron work is very nice too.  Very sturdy.  I'd put this out in my living room anyday! IT was also easy to put together and had all the right pieces that it was suppose to have.  I've had it for months now and would buy it all over again.
