I was anxious about making such a large purchase unseen, but I read the reviews, which were helpful. Since I realized there was extensive assembly, I was prepared (information is included for a service that will assemble, if needed). The product is beautiful and as pictured, and the quality is very good. I am very pleased. It' important to do a complete inventory right away. There were many missing pieces. This manufacturer was responsive and sent the missing pieces with no problem. I highly recommend.
