The finish is a little more orangey and splotchy then I expected, but I don't really mind right now since all my furniture needs to be refinished anyway, and when I'm ready to tackle that project I expect this piece will be an easy one to refinish. I'm actually really glad I spent the extra money for something that is sturdy instead of another piece of junk binder or cardboard/plastic box that will just fall apart. I can tell this thing will be with me for a while. 

Pros: Sturdy
Cons: Expect to have to refinish it.
