This sideboard is EXACTLY as pictured and perfect for what we needed it for.  My son needed a compact area to store a few pots and pans, paper plates/bowls/cups etc and a nice sturdy table to put a hot plate on for cooking.  I purchased a wooden cutting board to go under hot plate and it's perfect.  It took a couple of hours for husband to put together and instructions were fairly simple to follow.  It is very sturdy once put together and looks more expensive than it actually was.  Very pleased with this purchase !!!!!
