Great to have a nice looking piece of furniture instead of an ugly metal cage in the living room. We actually are also using it as an end table when it’s empty, it looks that nice. Assembly was also very easy. My only wish is that it came in different wood colors and painted finishes. Black, white, walnut, etc. the light wood looks nice, but isn’t really much of our aesthetic, and since the idea of this crate is to be just as much furniture as it it functional, those choices would be great.
