So I loved the rustic look of this entire set when I saw it online but was admittedly a bit nervous that the set would look cheap in person given that it is manufactured wood (and the price was pretty low)...however, I think the set looks even better in person!  The wood does have a slightly textured finish to it and the colors of the Dark Rustic Oak are great - it picks up on the wide variety of different furniture pieces we have in our Living Room.  The sliding barn doors are great.  I do wish that at least one of the pieces had a drawer of some kind on it, but that's getting nit-picky.  Assembly did take some time with two (2) people as we missed a few of the smaller notes in the instructions pages but we figured out our mistakes quickly.  On the whole, we are very pleased with this purchase!
