This is a really beautiful piece in our kitchen. We are using it as our coffee bar and there is SO MUCH STORAGE in this item. This did take about 1.5-2 hours to put together with my 4 kids (take that into consideration) "helping". This is a little more brown than the photo shows. The actual look doesn't have quite the "White Wash" look as photo'd, but I still really like how this looks in the space we need it for.
