It's beautiful, just as pictured. Definitely not "easy" to assemble. I had to call in the expert (dad) and it look him a good hour and a half with a power tool. It also arrived with some chips in the paint here and there, but I was able to touch them up with a black marker. The drawers do not close easily; they require a bit of a push to lock back into place, otherwise they stick out. Can't beat the price.
