We just bought a new house and we bought all new furniture including this piece. This is one of the last things I assembled and wow what a breath of fresh air! This was easy to assemble and the finish on it is strong enough to where the corners were not cracked or peeling. Assembly went smooth and overall it is a very solid piece. We have a baby at home so the option to close the food and water inside is a huge plus. This was hands down the best purchase we made.
