This beautiful and classic mid-century modern cabinet was a great choice to hold books and my art supplies. It's solid wood and sturdy. I really love the mitered corners that fit together and line up nicely, which is a good thing since it took so darn long to assemble. I needed to stop and have a snack in the middle of this furniture assembly job. All worth it though. I would still recommend this, I'm even more proud of it since I worked so hard putting it together! I was also happy to find that it was really heavy to lift and move, that means it's a good, solid piece of furniture that will last! I'm very happy with the finished product.
