I purchased this item in mahogany and it looks exactly as it does in the picture, which is always a concern of mine when I purchase online.  It was easy to put together, it took me about 2 hours.  It seems very durable.  I wish it were taller, but I didn't measure.  My living room corner actually looks EXACTLY like the picture, so I assumed it would go up to the chair rail, but it doesn't, my own fault.  It looks more expensive than it was.  Not a single scratch.  I'm happy with the product.  I'm now looking for more furniture from this manufacturer.  

Pros: Durable, Easy to Asemble, Looks Great
Cons: None
