I am happy with the cabinet, I was worried that the wood shelves were too light, but it is actually just a shade darker than pictured.  I wanted this same cabinet with the walnut brown shelves but this rustic oak was on sale and due to the price difference I purchased this one. I am happy with the shade since I was planning to stain it darker to match the rest of my furniture. Now I do not need to.  Assembly instructions was well written, all parts labeled clearly and as a 5ft female, I had no issues putting this cabinet together myself.  I just put it together a couple days ago, so will see how well it last over the years.
