I love the look of it! It actually looks just like the picture. I put it together by myself and it was not easy. It took me several hours. I put together at least 6 other pieces of furniture by myself and this was the most annoying. Its pretty light although it looks very sturdy and heavy. It also wobbles a little so I had to use the anchors and tie it to the wall in the back. Overall, I do really like it. I have already had compliments on it. I would just reccommend having 2 people assemble it and if you can somehow figure out how to put it together where it doesn't wobble, it would be perfect!
