I purchased two of these for my dining room, they came very well protected and in two days as promised. The wood looks a tad darker but true to color in proper lighting. After reading other reviews we were weary of the assembly, but it was very simple and takes about an hour with two people. I would recommend using a power screen driver when putting the pieces on in the back. There was sufficient hardware, and directions were clear enough. They are corner cabinets, are well lit and the glass shelves are secure. It was not necessary to fasten these into the wall, they are sturdy.
