I debated buying this for awhile because of the price but I am so glad I finally decided to go ahead with it. It is very solid and well made and I'm sure I'll have it forever. I bought the brown colored wood which is less orange-y looking than in the pictures (it is a walnut finish). Assembly was simple; it's really just a matter of attaching the legs and only one of them gave me a little trouble. It is a heavy piece so you need two people to turn it over/move it into place, but that's just because it's actually solid wood. The sliding doors move smoothly. There are little wooden blocks screwed into the inside to keep the doors from sliding during shipping to prevent damage, which I thought was a smart move. You just have to unscrew them and they don't leave any visible marks or damage. I do wish there was more than one hole on the back for wires as it commits you to only using one side for devices. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this piece.
