This cabinet is perfect in every way. It is a great size for in the living room, office, or dining room. The blue color is a dark teal (exactly as pictured) and is beautiful. E are thrilled with this piece. It took me about 45 minutes to assemble and this is my first piece of furniture I've ever put together, so it wouldn't take as long for someone more experienced. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
