This is one of my favorite pieces of furniture in the house. It is very well made, makes a charming statement and was well worth the price. In fact I've seen other pieces in furniture stores that cost considerably more and lacked the practicality and charm that this piece owns. I love that it is taller, thinner and longer then most without over powering the other furniture in the room. I love that the top is a wood finish and the body has the antique finish all adding to the appeal. Great item!
