The cabinet has a much higher quality look. My plan for this unit was to use it for my dishes, glasses & silverware to free up some cabinets & drawers in my kitchen (small). Unfortunately,  the shelves are not wide enough to hold regular plates. And the drawer will not come out even halfway. The 13" D references the bottom & top -- I figured the loss of an inch or at most two inches for the shelf.  Having the drawer not extend fully or even 2/3rds eliminates it for silverware use. Thus the 3 stars. The packing was excellent. I unpacked it by myself easily. If the drawer came out further, I would rate this at 4 stars.
