Beautiful piece! The ash finish is very pretty. Our new house does not have a linen closet so I purchased this piece to hold our linens. Works perfect. Deep shelves hold folded towels perfectly. Feels solid and sturdy. My only disappointment was that the back is not wood. It is a that cardboard backing painted like the wood that you tack on with finishing nails. Not noticeable once is it put together, I just wasn't expecting it. On that note, it is a bit of a project to put together, but very handsome once completed.
