Assembly took about 2 hours, some of the holes in the plastic brackets inside the cuboard doors were not drilled, but it was easy to screw through.  Colour is true to the photos. Seems to be quite sturdy, but the shelves fit loose on metal pegs, which means if you have a pair of shoes with sticky rubber soles they can pull the little shelves out when you're taking them out.  I'm only taking away a star because there is room for improvement with the pieces fitting together, and to reduce the amount of plastic and Styrofoam it is packed in.

I still highly recommend it as a great space saver in small apartments where you need to store shoes. Attractive mid-century meets modern design.
