I was really happy with the quality of this piece. As I assembled it, I noticed that the wood finish was visible on all sides. The backing board for the cabinet is attached with screws, not nails. Every shelf was finished on every side. the feet screw in so I was able to level the cabinet between the rug it's half on, and the uneven old hardwood floor in my apartment. The assembly felt slightly out of order, but I followed it anyway, and it took me an hour to an hour and half to fully assemble it by myself. Overall, I'm really pleased with the purchase.
