This item arrived in great shape, no damaged pieces as some other reviewers experienced. Everything was in perfect condition and it was easy to put together and looks great. The only complaint I have is that it said in the item description that it was a hard wood covered in veneer. This is definitely NOT hardwood. It is particle board. I can dent it with my fingernail. I have 4 boys under the age of 12 and I was looking specifically for something sturdy and made of hard wood. For the price I paid, it ought to have been made of hard wood. 

Pros: Easy to assemble, looks very nice
Cons: NOT hard wood, doesn't seem very durable
