Looks great after assembly, but it does take a bit to put this together.  My recommendation -- get your kids to assemble it.  My son kept growling at me from the living room floor as he was putting this together, but once assembled, it looks great.  We had a couple of issues identifying hardware.  But once we put it in the corner where it was destined to go, it is phenomenal.  I like the top pull-down because its not a drawer and I can easily squish my purse in there without a problem.  Finally a place for my purse!
