This Curio is gorgeous! Exceptional attention to detail. The wood is very well done, with a rich, dark finish. We had full-service delivery, and would suggest that, as it is EXTREMELY heavy! The pics included are from when it was first delivered, before we cleaned and loaded it. Our doorways are all a full 8 feet tall, so don't let that fool you into believing it's shorter than expected - compare it to the height of the full-size refrigerator on the other side of the doorway.
