Overall look: I ordered the white oak. I was nervous about the wood looking very fake and being printed on, since it is laminate and manufactured wood, but i was pleasantly surprised how nice and textured the wood is. Everything was packaged nicely. After assembly, one door won’t close the whole way due to the pieces being misaligned, but it’s not too noticeable. I have already gotten many compliments on the tv stand. 

Assembly: Overall, this took us two days and 7 hours. Definitely a two person job. Directions are relatively easy to follow in the beginning, but once you start getting further along, they get a bit vague so we did have to redo a few parts. We never received the door knobs, but they also include a handle in packaging so we used that. It would’ve been nice to have an option. There were no predrilled holes to secure fireplace, so we had to use a power drill. 

Would recommend, but would advise that assembly is time consuming and very frustrating.
