Agree with most other reviews. Once put together, the piece is very sturdy and looks great. The weathered wood is a nice taupe color. You also don't have to install the wine glass holder or put the wine rack in if you'd prefer more open shelving. Assembly is a bit challenging...it's packaged so well that it took 30 min to unbox everything, then 4 hours for a 2-person assembly. The instructions don't indicate piece orientation, so it took a bit of common sense thinking and looking ahead to figure it out, and we still had to unscrew pieces quite a few times and turn them around once we realized they were backwards. That said, for the price you're paying, it's worth it for the finished result!!
