I bought this valet as a temporary, space-saving solution to a more substantial model to be purchased in the future.  I found assembly to be easy and the finish to be smooth and appealing.  It is what it is, however - an inexpensive suggestion of what could a be nicer, more functional, and more sturdy valet.  Like many of the products I've purchased on Wayfair, it's a passable way to create the appearance of quality without actually having it.
