So this is a back view as I am using it as a buffet tablebar. And they don’t show you the back. (I opted to not use some white plastic togs that tighten the back - so it looks good. I’d recommend they change that to black, for those that are using this as an island but also - super sturdy without me.) This is a beautiful piece - evoking full Mad Men vibes. Great materials and only one of the steps to build threw me off but just follow the pics and it is straight forward - though time consuming.) I love it. Rock on Kelly Clarkson!
