it's a great cabinet. I read some reviews saying the color was darker than the picture but I think it looks just like the picture. I originally bought it as a bar cabinet but decided it was a little small so it went in my entry. It's a little labor intensive if you have never put furniture together (like me) but it wasn't hard to assemble. It smells a bit weird but nothing to be upset about. I'm sure it's a smell that will wear off. Seems really sturdy and overall I have no complaints.
