This is a great rustic looking piece. The wood is smooth so it's not too rustic- like with some other pieces, where the wood looks fresh out the bard yard.  It very much looks exactly like it does online, but a little nicer in person. There is some wasted drawer space in the back, which I think could have been use to elongate the drawer. I expected more depth in the drawers.

The only draw back is that some of the instructions are not clear /pictures were mismatched. Additionally, it would be nice if they improve the instructions so that you know which side is up from down/left from right. We could have avoided undoing 3 instructions simply because our core piece was turned in the opposite direction.

Overall great product
