I purchased 2 of these in concord cherry. Color is similar to the redwood furniture in my home. These pantries were the best thing I could find for maximum closed storage, low cost, and fast shipping. You do get what you pay for. Lots of the wood isn't solid, and staples were used in quite a bit of the construction. Also, the shelves look thick in the photo because of a lip; they are actually quite thin. Overall I am satisfied and feel confident that the pantry can hold the weight put on them.
