It was very easy to assemble and looks just like the picture.  I have it at the foot of my queen size bed and it look fabulous.  It does wobble a little, think one of the legs is a little shorter and/or the holes drilled in the seat are not at exactly the same place on both side.  I might try to fix myself.  It is not a piece that is used everyday, so I decided to keep since I got it at such a great deal.
