I'm very happy with this stand. It has a great, modern design and is very sturdy. Obviously, some elements are not the highest quality, but if they were you would be paying 3X more.
Most important to note, the handles are NOT metal. They are light, plastic, and hollow. But you don't notice this unless you actually touch them.
The wood look is actually pretty good. I'm an interior designer and work with laminate and veneer every day. I have gotten other products on Great Offer Stock with disappointing "wood" finishes, but this one was pleasantly surprising.
For the price, I'm really happy with this and foresee having it for a long time.
