Instructions were not great for putting this item together, started putting in center shelves then realized they were backwards even though instructions never mention they need to go in a specific way or that there was a front/back side to shelves.  A few of the pieces had minor scratches on them already but not too noticeable.  Once put together item looks nice.  Did notice back bows slightly when someone under 180lbs sat on it even though the weight limit says 250lbs.
