This piece does exactly what I want it to do and was inexpensive.  It did take a long time to assemble and, it is cheaply made but I still like it.  But, it is made in China, which I REALLY don't love.  We stained it with a wood sealer to stain  and protect it from water and this also made it shiny and richer looking and a little darker, which I like.  After all of that, it's perfect!!
