Though I like the idea that this is reclaimed wood, it is a very unfinished piece. There are a lot of rough edges and splinters, and I am going to have to sand areas to ensure I and my children don't get splinters. Also, the doors don't latch very well, and the vertical bar in the middle is not cut to fit. Further, there is one piece in the back that was clearly broken then patched. I am disappointed and I would not recommend this item.
