This is a great end table! The entire piece is distressed looking (in a good way) including the hardware. It's a bit bigger than I thought it would be. I think it looks super stylish! I am actually using it in my office as a printer stand as I have been needing one but don't like how many of them look (boring). This fits my printer on the top and has plenty of storage. I love how I can fit copy paper on one of the shelves and then hide that shelf with the awesome barn-style door. I used a cubby for books and they are laying flat but it IS big enough to put them upright/verticle. I would definitely recommend this piece. It's so versatile. I am not giving 5 stars because it doesn't seem super high quality; seems cheaply made. I do like how light it is because I like moving furniture around.
