Charming is really the word. Could fit many decors. Holds a lot. Easy to assemble. Keeps our cats out of the laundry bin. Speaking of cats, it scratches relatively easily, but doesn't groove easily. Which makes repaints/touch ups cake. (Honestly, we use a sharpie.) The black color is a true black. Beadboard paneling is super cute. Curve on front makes it unique. Pretty. Not boring. Love it.
