This was a really quality piece for the price. The wood color/grain was just like the picture. I hired a contractor on Task Rabbit to complete the assembly and he did a great job putting it together in about 45min. The packaging was really damaged when it arrived but the product had no damage. The polystyrene packaging was awful-it gets everywhere, I read the reviews online and bought a can of air (electronics duster) to spray away the foam from the wood and metal drawer tracks. This is a great piece and am very happy with it!
