Looks awesome assembled! I think it looks like a much more expensive piece than it is. We're using this for kitchen storage in our NYC apartment. I wanted something industrial that was still warm enough to go with my white kitchen, and this piece looks great. Thanks to the open back, we're able to put small appliances on it (microwave, toaster) along with using it for food storage. Assembly was definitely a two person job, but the instructions were clear. It's not perfectly sturdy - there a little bit of give - but that may just be down to our inexpert construction (the directions give you input on how and when to re-tighten certain hardware pieces to make it sturdier). All in all, we're really happy with this piece.
