Very nice piece, great directions, but it took us 3 hrs. to put it together. The doors were a breeze, thinking they would be hard to hang straight. The top does have a gray tint in the sun, but in the shade light brown. We don’t have any gray in our house, but it works. Fits all my Christmas dishes. Pushed the 35lb. weight limit on the larger bottom shelf to 40lb. So far so good.
