First, it's not antique black as I expected. Second assembly was a pain. I frequently purchase items that have to be assembled and I don't have a problem. This was really a pain. The safety hinges were so hard to close that it was cracking the wood. We couldn't shut the hinges when we removed them, they were so stiff. So we had to assemble without them. I guess it's ok for the price. Not sure I would order it again if I had it to do over.
