In general the piece looks great in my home office space alongside my similarly washed out wood desk. It is creating an attractive and centralized place for printer, office supplies, and key (secured) files in my house. The legs make it look modern and not bulky in the small room. My main complaint is the strong chemical outgassing that is happening that I had a headache. I have been keeping the window open to try to air it out and it has been 4 days with still a strong odor. I hope it fades eventually. In fact, there is a paper notice that comes inside that is a formaldehyde warning. Kind of late as I would have avoided it. I thought for the price and wood filters - I was going to get something without the chemical smell so that is a big disappointment. As for building, it took my husband and I 2 hours. We tore up the instruction booklet and I basically built the 2 drawers. It is not a small task, but a doable project and satisfying outcome minus the odor.
