It looks just like the picture and functions fine. But the wood surface is rough, irregular, and not pretty in all places. It's fine for the price, and to put shoes on, but I expected the surface to be smooth and regular. There are a few spots that are pretty bad. And, while I could put it together myself, getting some of the screws in was a little challenging. My hands got sore. I will likely replace this in time and put it in a closet instead.
