Looks just like pictured. The boards are very rough and "distressed". One had a slight crack at the edge, so I placed it on the back edge. The hooks arrived a little bent, but they were easily straightened by hand.

In spite of all this, I like it. I put pillows on the top bench so you hardly see it. For the price, I think it works. I was able to assemble it myself relatively easily, though had to use a doorway to balance the two taller sides until I could connect the crossbars/shelves.
