I chose this piece over a fine furniture piece from a specialty furniture store because I really liked how it looked. When I had finally put it together, it looked every bit as I expected. Its functionality is even better than I expected. And, I have received many compliments on it.
If there is a negative, it is the fact that it does require some skill to put it together. And, whatever you do, take the time to put in all of the panel screws. You will be tempted to allow the back panel to float and skip putting in the 20+ screws. This will compromise the sturdiness of the frame. To this end, the screw holes are not predrilled. They are marked but it will be your screwdriver technique that will allow for the hole to tap and the screw to go in straight. Patience will pay off with this piece. Highly reccomended.
This is a fine piece of furniture
