This is a real piece of furniture which is what we were looking for. It has some weight to it. I love the antiqued finish and I like that it's not quite white. It took about 2 hours to put together. It looks great in the dining room and doesn't compete with our large wood table. I took off one star because the right door hangs just a tiny bit off which drives my husband nuts (I don't even notice unless I kneel down to really look). Decent little cabinet.
