Very pretty once it's together. I would never recommend that anyone put this together though. There are 40 pieces, plus the hardware. To be fair, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. But it took me several days of picking away at it. I did it in 10 step increments. Now that it's together, the bottom is nice. The top is too shallow to hold much. And that's the reason I gave it 3 stars. I wish it was more useful considering the price and the effort it took to put it together. It is pretty though.
