This item shipped fast (3 days from purchase) and was better than imagined. It is a more chocolate/walnut color than in the photo, but I was hoping for that. It definitely took some time to assemble, but it is a very sturdy piece and fits all my China and wine glasses I planned. The only downside to this piece is that it has a cardboard piece backing to the shelves, but that doesn't bother me because it has a very good faux wood appearance that matches the rest of the wood. We would buy this piece again in a heartbeat.
