I purchased this in black.  As soon as this item arrived, I knew this item was perfect for what I needed!  The craftsmenship is extremely well done.  No one would know how affordable this piece is.  It was also very easy to put together.  Due to the fact that it is top heavy, I anchored it to the wall in one spot at the top, and it's perfect in the corner of my room.  I've gotten countless compliments on it; two friends have hinted that they want this for their own home!  Absolutely recommend.
