This one was a doozy... I read all the comments about this piece and still bought it due to the allure of it being all wood and no press board. Thank God it was all wood! I needed to sand every piece, glue one board back together that had split during shipping and put a minimum of 3 coats (5 on the top) of semi-gloss urethane on all sides of each piece to achieve the color and quality I thought Id be receiving. 
Aside from all the work that needed to be done to it, I absolutely love the lines and simplicity of it. I dont think Id recommend buying it unless you have the space and time to actually do the finish work.
