I think it's very pretty, but the directions were absolutely awful and unhelpful. They wanted you to do things that should've been done first, last, and it just didn't make sense. Plus, the nails or whatever they were didn't go in all the way, otherwise it cracked the wood very badly. If there had been words in the directions, that would've been so much more helpful than pictures that weren't very clear. Also, the lights aren't even the same as in the picture, and were way longer, and had more bulbs that were much smaller than expected. It took me days because I work everyday to get it done, mainly because of how hard it was to assemble and how hard to understand the directions are.
