So much better than expected! I originally bought this piece for a rarely used guest bathroom, but it is so pretty I decided to put it in the corner of my breakfast room to hold my table linens and candles. I chose the chocolate color, and it happened to be a perfect match for my dark distressed farmhouse table and chairs. What was even more surprising was the quality of construction and the sturdy weight that is not apparent in the pictures. Even the baskets have sturdy metal framing to hold their shape! Considering the low price I paid to have this beautiful, functional addition in my dining nook, I couldn't be happier!!!
