I love this sideboard. It's beautiful, and heavy, and sturdy, and comes completely assembled apart from the handles that are screwed to the inside of the doors, which only takes a few minutes each to remove and reattach. I had read in other reviews about the screw holes, which are obviously meant to give the wood a "reclaimed wood" look.  There definitely are more than I expected and while I fixated on them at first, I don't notice them at all anymore and think that they in fact do add something to the look.
