Exactly as pictured and described. It's a bit tedious to put together, not difficult - just a bunch of screws. Would have gone much faster if I had used my own screwdriver from the get go instead of the small one they provided. I ended up anchoring to the wall (which I've never done with other pieces) as mine was put on carpet and a bit top heavy once I added stuff to the shelves. Still an awesome piece and I would definitely buy again!
