This is a great piece - especially for the price!! The fabric is nice, color is as described, the item is sturdy, the legs are easy to assemble into the body, and it’s exactly what I was looking for!! 

I don’t know why people are so hung up on the hinges being on the outside, unless you are opening this backwards, you are never going to see it.

It opens and closes smoothly and the top lines up, as it should. 

And for people who lower the stars on a product because of delivery issues and damage to the item - shame on you. Wayfair has great customer service and will send additional pieces or a replacement if needed. Rate the product like everyone else, not the service.
