Once assembled, it looks great and is very sturdy.  There were some incorrect labels in the instructions (holes transposed on the diagram versus the wooden pieces) but it all worked out in the end.  There were several small scratches but on the lower piece nearest the floor, not very visible once assembled (and since I'm using it in a mudroom and it will likely get banged up a little anyway, I didn't see the poking in returning it).  Overall I am impressed with how solid it is and looks like a higher quality piece of furniture.
