Item looks just as pictured, but came damaged. There was a 3 inch crack on one of the main supports and the screw would not stay in. It did come sort of dirty and wood dust particles were coming out when screws were drilled it. Be aware this item is VERY heavy, package weight was 93lbs. You would need at least 2 people to carry this and build. I am very handy and do most repairs on my own, and have built countless furniture — this was not hard to build, but was very tedious. A lot of screws and parts. I would say it took about 2 hours alone. Seems sturdy and looks nice. I’m assuming the broken part might have been through shipping but aside from that, it’s as described.
