We love the cabinet! It is made of solid wood which was a must for us plus a steal of a deal. The colouring is darker than the photos but still rich. It came extremely well packaged without any damage. It took my husband 2.5 hours to assemble with me assisting. Assembly was fine until the end when he had to put the pegs in for the shelf which were too big for the holes. Regardless of that irritation the cabinet itself deserves 5 stars!
