I ordered the white finish and was delighted to open the box and see it was exactly as described. Real wood, very sturdy no assembly required (just pull down the shelves and they lock into position.). It holds photo albums and books in a corner of my bedroom. Perfect size! My children were so impressed with mine they ordered 2 in the natural finish for their office area and love theirs too. We are amazed at the great price for this well made item.
