What a disappointment. I waited months for the black version thinking I had found a great solution for a medium center at a reasonable price. Sorry to report - what a piece of junk! First of all, I was fooled by the photo into thinking this item was bigger than it actually is. I should have paid much closer attention to the listed data. As for it's construction, it's basically a very poor copy of the typical IKEA capture-clip method the are famous for. And as for the finish - whatever they used for the black veneer, it's absolute garbage. Smudges very easily to the slightest touch and cannot withstand any risk of chipping. To sum it up, this item would be over priced at half the price IMO. A complete and total waste of money. Such is the risk of buying furniture pictured on line.
