I was a bit worried first, because this item is made in China and I thought it would look cheesy, but it looks really nice, once assembled. The only down side is that the whole table is a little wobbly, so you would have to put heavy things on the bottom shelf and have it close to the wall (which I have done). Another comment on the packaging, which was done really carefully: I had a lot of styrofoam pieces flying around while I unpackaged. I wish the company would use less of that material.
