This is a beautiful piece of wood furniture. it is very sturdy even without the installation of the adjustable shelves, which i plan to stain. the wood was very smooth and i was able to paint it very easily. it took only about twenty minutes to attach the legs, as all other parts were assembled. the butcher block top is about two inches thick and accepted mineral oil treatment readily. we were very pleased with the quick delivery, too, which was a couple days less than expected. we will be exploring more purchases soon. thank you wayfair!
