I bought this piece to fill a "dead space" in the kitchen and to get extra storage.   It was time consuming to put together and I was disappointed with a couple of the corner fittings (although its on the back and doesn't show).  I think its an expensive piece to have so much to put together.   Very little "real" wood, but again, it looks nice.  So, I'd buy it again...  just wish it was on sale.
