It's actually just as nice in person as it is in the picture. Material is good quality; even though I banged one of the pieces repeatedly and up close you can see some denting, it didn't compromise the material. Really, a ton of storage space, very sturdy, and I'm so please with the purchase. Two major cons: 1) during the build this takes up a TON of space. 2) it's not easy to build alone. It took me around 6 hours to assemble alone, and then it took me several more to figure out how to make doors fit. The reason is that some of the guide-holes are not in the correct place. I would make sure to LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE ENTIRE BUILDING MANUAL and visualize each step and take measurements especially when you're starting to attach the door. The reason why I say this is because when I was hammering in the backboard, I didn't read the next page and then ended up having to undo a bunch (un-nailing 47 nails, to be exact).
