I didn't expect distressed or reclaimed wood at this price and feel the overall construction of the cabinet is sturdy enough for normal use. It wasn't terribly difficult to assemble - until I got to attaching the doors. The right side door wouldn't hang properly no matter what adjustments I made according to the instructions. Our contractor was finishing up a project that day so I asked him to take a look and tell me what I was doing wrong. Turns out the interior holes were unevenly drilled. He re-drilled the holes and was able to get the doors reasonably aligned. I'd advise paying for assembly so obviously defective pieces don't become your problem. I've decided to keep the cabinet, but I probably won't buy from Wayfair again.
