Exquisite! Purchased two for LR. Used a silver inked pen to 'color' the brass hinges. Cabinet top is charcoal grey. Backing is 2 standard thin slip-in pieces, not wood. The ornate door design does not overwhelm a small area. Used a small motorized screwdriver on the 2nd which made the process easier & faster. Departed from instructions about hinges: Placed hinges on doors first. Then placed unit on either side to attach corresponding hinge to its side. Used the styrofoam packing and a few books to level up the door and hinges before screwing in. Worked like a charm! Overall, go slow and think about placement throughout the process of putting together. The bar attached to the sides w/wood dowels has holes on all 4 sides. Attach the face with only 2 holes upward (facing toward top of unit). This is a sturdy cabinet w/adjustable plastic 'feet'. Looked at these longingly months b4 purchase. Am glad I purchased
