This piece is really gorgeous in person. The color is beautiful, and overall, it feels very solid. Be prepared for a long assembly process, though! Working by myself, it took me about five hours to get it all sorted out and assembled. WORTH IT. The drawers may seem like they don't want to cooperate when you first push them in. It's literally just that first time, as you're pushing them into place. After that, they glide smoothly and do exactly what they should. I can't stop looking at my tv stand, because it makes me so happy.
