Looks fab when finished, but comes in a million pieces. Expect to spend at least 3 hours on it if you are assembling by yourself. It took me an hour just to unpack it, tons of different packing materials to be sorted...trash, recyclable, reusable, trash....bit of a pain. But anyway, color is exactly what I wanted. The veneer is extremely thin. They place stickers on it so you know how to assemble, and when you try to remove the stickers, the veneer comes off with it, so be careful. The drawer bottoms are just cardboard, so nothing heavy can go in them. The piece itself is extremely heavy. On the whole, I think it's a great deal - got the look I wanted for a reasonable price. One must expect less than perfection when you purchase discounted replica style furniture. I will however be extremely careful not to allow the top to get wet when serving drinks on this bar because the veneer has already proven very delicate. Would still recommend it to others.
