I bought this last year after my designer recommended it. The sideboard is placed at the foyer as the central piece of furniture. However, it is used for our shoes!  The furniture itself is beautiful and the quality is outstanding. We've got so many compliments on this. Because I love this sideboard so much, recently I have ordered another set of furniture from the same line (distressed white, the same manufacturer)- a queen size bedframe in our guest bedroom.   Everybody loves it! It's  beyond B&B quality-it's like something from a designer magazine (my friend's words).
