Looks just like the picture! It does require a lot of assembly! As a woman living on my own (and I consider myself pretty handy) it took me about 3 hours to put together. (I did strip a screw and had to remove it which took a good chunk of time). Looks very stylish and modern! They include a touch up pen for when it gets scratched, since this is not real wood. Very dark, almost black. The back of the dresser is just a thin cardboard, not a thicker particle board like the rest of the dresser.
