We bought two of these to put in our dining room. They are quite small, but it works well in our tiny room. They won't hold full-size dinner plates, but they do hold smaller serving dishes, large books and other odds and ends. The height fits just under the chair rail. The quality seems good - it's not easy to find solid wood construction at this price point - and assembly was straight-forward. The back panels are plywood, which is better than the cardboard you'll find on some pieces. The color is pretty much as-pictured (dark tobacco is an accurate description). We are pleased with our purchase!
