You pay for what you get.  Very inexpensive.  It’s attractive enough but cheap quality.  You have to be super careful about leaving anything on the top that could stain it. The legs are a painted gold and not terribly convincing as brass but again you pay for what you get. The shipping package was not very well fortified - flimsy styrofoam.  Ours arrived with a nick on the front facing door (of all places) which require us to repair as it is noticeable.  Takes about an hour to put together.  They did include extra screws which is helpful.  It does present a more attractive way to store shoes at a front door that might not have a closet. Note that the “white” is very white - not creamy white.
