Took two days to construct, but it is a magnificently beautiful piece of furniture, elegant and sleek, and a space saver.  The finish is darker than pictured, but matched my dark wood living room pieces.  A genuinely handsome piece, just assemble it very methodically and carefully.  If a piece is missing or broken, they work with you.  I get lots of comments about what a fine looking item it is, and it especially matches black frame flat screen TVs.
