Beautiful solid wood stand with iron hardware and functional, very heavy iron wheels. Wheels have brake option via wing bolt. A snap to assemble, just 8 hex bolts to the wheels. Wrench not provided. The wood is solid, but lightweight (the wheels are heavier than the stand itself), rustic but smooth in finish. It was well packed in box; despite a big gash on the outer package, the stand was unmarred.
The one drawback is that the drawers do not pull easily and that one of them won't open more than an inch without wrestling. My grandmother used to rub soap along her drawers so they would glide easily; I'm going to try some beeswax and hope it helps. I will report back...
If not for the drawers, this would be a perfect piece. Everyone who has seen it, and most importantly, my family and I, think it's a handsome piece that makes the living room. The one small picture doesn't quite do it enough justice.
