Easy to put together and solid.  Drawer handle was missing, but replaced with one I had. Drawer bottom is thin and attached with staples. Drawer does not feel strong enough for cutlery though one other said they do this.  I stained and polyurethaned the top and shelf, and painted rest BM Newburg Green. Used preconditioner and 3 coats of natural stain. If I were to do it again I might use Danish, Tung or mineral oil (for simplicity). Only installed 1 shelf which makes it more comfortable for sitting with stools. Overall happy with purchase.
