We really like the two toned color.  It's a beautiful piece of furniture.  We enjoy the lift feature and having some storage.  The issue is that on both sides there is a penetration point of which when placing the screws in, it punctured through the side and this happened on both sides.  Maybe it's b/c we used an electric drill but it didn't happen anywhere else and we used the drill there too.  I do advise using an electric drill, though that may not be the issue.  Perhaps it occurs with a hand held screw too, so be careful.  I didn't have the energy to try to rebox it and return or call to see if we could get more end pieces (would require us to take it apart).  My advise is to be very careful when putting it together.  Those area's are not appealing.  I'll try to find a marker to mask the damage.
