I absolutely love this piece of furniture. We don't have a closet by our front door so I wanted a cabinet we could hide some shoes in so they weren't just laying all over the floor and this is perfect. I agree with what other people have said, it is darker than I thought it was based on the pictures. Also we did have to drill 2 holes in one of the side pieces since the holes were missing. Neither of those things were a deal breaker for us though. With most manufactured wood furniture the back is a piece of cardboard but the back of this table is the same material as the rest of the table which is really nice. I love the finish and I look forward to decorating it.
