Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. It is really sturdy and beautiful. Everyone that has visited me has commented on how nice it is. I have black furniture and was concerned how this would fit in but to be honest you can't really tell it's not black. My only complaint is that there are large circle wholes on top of shelf curfaces and the stickers provided to mask that are really flimsy. I would have preceded something more solid, like a plastic or wooden cap.
