Its OK... The wood effect is a lot darker than it looks in the photos, but I have to admit, although it is wrapped, it has been done well and the quality of the material is good compared to others I've seen. This one even has some texture to it. Was a little tricky to put together, instructions could have been clearer, but I think thats just flat-pack furniture in general?! I'd like it to work, at the moment it doesn't match my decor because it is so dark, so I'm going to have to paint or try to lighten it somehow. Not something I wanted to be doing, but it is what it is I guess.
