I really like this piece. I didn't realise how matte the finish was on the wood but it works in my apartment. The doors are proving tricky to get properly aligned but assembly was OK otherwise. It would be great if heavy parcels like this were packaged differently, for example two boxes tethered together. I would be able to cut the tether and carry each box up the stairs for myself then rather than having to call a friend to come across town to help me.
