It looks great now that it's put together but I had quite a bit of trouble putting it together. There were some washers missing from the hardware and the legs had some scratches on them. We got ours from the open box outlet, so that's probably the reason for those issue. Also, the directions were not entirely clear when it came to orientation of some of the shelves. A couple of times it said "note the direction of [piece]" but the pictures were supremely unhelpful. I was flipping back and forth in the directions on almost every step to make sure I was piecing it together correctly. The directions said it would take about 3 hours to complete, but all told it took us more like 7 or 8. Its a beautiful and sturdy piece of furniture but just be prepared to take longer and get more of a headache during the construction process.
