After reading many reviews on various sites, I had some concerns about the finished product, but I am very pleased now that it is assembled. My husband and I expected it to come in many parts based on other reviews, and it did take about 2 hours to put it together. Some mentioned the finish being poor, but ours is very nice and the color matches the picture (mahogany finish). It is wood veneer, but it is very heavy and sturdy. Overall it is a great, functional piece that is a nice addition to a dining room.

Pros: very good quality for the price
Cons: it does require full assembly
