Over all this item is aesthetically pleasing and matches the weathered grey furniture. It was very easy to assemble. It was very difficult to get the box open. I think it took longer to open than it did to put it together. To that note, it was very well packed to prevent any damage during shipping. I must not have read as well as I intended or I was blinded by my own NEED to have the whole matching office set, but either way I overlooked a few things and am not sure it was worth the amount paid. I had thought it would be taller for use as a monitor stand as displayed in the photo, but it is not tall enough for my needs. I do wish it had tracks for the drawers to roll on and not just the pads to stick on the bottom of the drawers for smooth sliding on top of whatever surface you place it on.
