This is a lovely piece of furniture so we feel it gets 2 stars for that; however, the workmanship of the various parts left a lot to be desired.  Specifically, pilot holes were not drilled properly, back panels were not cut square to fit properly which created a lot of excess work on our part that should not have been.  Finished it does look nice and probably deserves more than two stars for its appearance; however, no-one should have to take 9-10 hours to assemble this unit mostly because parts were not properly manufactured (for lack of a better word) !!
