Very nice in person. Love the color I got. I wish it were taller. We have high ceilings in our home, and there is just too much space if it is sitting on the stand itself. As others said, the doors can be difficult to align. Honestly, after my toddler opened and closes them a fair amount of times they seemed to line up well! It had a dent in the top that I didn’t see until after assembly. Customer service was great to work with to resolve the issue. Plan to take this up to our lake house for the basement there since it is too short for home.
