This piece is beautiful! I was impressed by the finish. Very heavy, sturdy and expensive looking for the price point. As others mention, the color appears darker in my living room where the lighting is not as brilliant as a photo set. However, it still fits well with my walnut vintage mcm furniture. It does come with a ton of styrofoam, but my piece wasn’t damaged upon arrival! It’s a sizeable piece of furniture, so it does take a little while to put together. However, the pieces are very well labeled, and the instructions are simple and clear. The doors take some patience to hang, but that’s the nature of doors. Basically, if you’ve put together furniture before and/or have patience, this should be difficult or come as a surprise. It’s a keeper!
