Very nice and solid and I love the different shades but it doesn’t appear “finished” where it’s susceptible to water damage  etc easy with someone as clumsy as I I do not think I would have ordered something unfinished. I understood it would be a little “rustic” maybe but this isn’t that. I’ll definitely have to finish them myself and also, it was not easy at all to construct. I have limited time and ended up having to pay someone as I needed it asap. So at the end of the day I should not have tried to save a dollar because at the end of the day, I ended up paying the same as a product that came finished. I will get them credit as it is beautiful once assembled and sturdy. All depends on what you are looking for.
