This looks very nice like the picture.   To follow step by step instructions does take hours to complete.  There were a few chipped corners that fortunately were not on the outside.  The bottom line is if you have the strength and hours to put the pieces together, then this is definitely something you want to consider.  Very honestly I couldn't have done this alone.  (Please note that this comes in a huge, very heavy box delivered to the door but you don't have to lift the entire box to get it into the house.  We opened it outside and then carried several pieces in at a time.)
