It's a looks darker and the wood appears to be unfinished. Three bits of wood were damaged and some of the parts were missing numbers which made it difficult to assemble. Took about 5 hours with two people putting it together. I did consider sending it back but I think you have to pay to send it back. After everything I am pleased with the cupboard and it definitely looks more expensive than 114.00 but I wouldn't have paid anymore. Also, it has put me off flat pack furniture for a while.
