We love it!  The gray distressed finish is perfect and exactly what I was wanting.  We're using it in our entryway as not only a decor piece but a way to keep us a little organized in our comings and goings.  It's the perfect size.  It's very sturdy.  It was pretty easy to assemble and we had it together in not time.  It's just a great quality piece of furniture that has both form AND function.  Five stars!
