The cabinet came in already assembled, so I was able to set the cabinet in place and enjoy right away! The colors match the picture and I am pleased with the overall. However, the cabinet did come with a chip in it, which a few other reviews had mentioned, so I am not sure if it's a distressed look they are going for, but with one chip it appears to be damaged. It would be more work to return and receive another with a worse chip, so we'll just live with it.
