It looks just like the photo.  Very high quality wood...no veneer to peel off later.  Just the right size for my kitchen.  I only gave it 4 stars for two small reasons... I'd like to have my towel rack on the other side or maybe one on each end... that should be a design option.  The other was some problems putting it together.  Some holes weren't fully drilled out, and a couple were just off.  One of my drawers is slightly off kilter so it isn't flush, when closed.  The individual pieces could have been marked better and instructions a little more detailed.
