Came out even better than expected Ted. I had read multiple reviews before settling on this piece and was concerned it may look “cheaper” than intended. But my nyc apartment desperately needed additional counter /prep space so I took a risk.  I was pleased to see the marble veneer was well colored and seamless even for it being a coating atop the wooden counter. Not to mention, I assembled this entire piece from out of the box to fully erect in less than 40 min by myself while 31 weeks pregnant! Simple to screw together and had no issues  with fit. I was careful to flip the entire piece over at the end with help because it was fairly weighty, but quite study! I love how it houses all my cookware!
