This was beautiful and just what we needed. At first I thought itll be short but Im 55 and its tall. Not to the point I couldnt reach the top. The item did arrive with four pieces cracked but its not the structure its more the paint or whatever material the white is. Theyre on the bottom side when being built so you wont see it.

Took my husband and I the whole afternoon to build with breaks. Instructions were easy to follow. Have wine while building. 

Very heavy and sturdy.
