The cabinet looks the same as the picture after assembly. A few of the shelves' edging is coming off from the wood but it did not affect the look. The biggest problem is the assembly instructions. The pictures are too small and it did not indicate front from back, left from right. It did not indicate the size of screws and a lot of guessing is needed. Therefore, a lot of time is used in disassembling the cabinets to put the pieces back to their right place. Otherwise I would have given it a 4 star.
