Had my eye on this piece for over a year and finally pulled the trigger. My piece came broken (one door hinge was barely hanging on and the wood was misaligned on the bottom of the piece). Luckily my husband was able to fix both with some new nails and furniture glue, but disappointing nonetheless. For the price you would think it would be in pristine condition. I will say that it is a bit darker than I expected as well. The image depicts a light brown/tan piece - mine was more dark brown. Despite all the cons mentioned we will be keeping it as I love the striped look, it matches the other rattan items in the room, and the height is perfect for what I needed.
