Selected this piece for my mom to fill a space in her office that she felt needed something.  3 stars because assembly was a complete nightmare.  I cannot stress that enough.  ASSEMBLY IS A NIGHTMARE.  However… she is super pleased with the look.  We both feel it had a more expensive look for what it was priced at and although assembly was miserable, we may buy another for another room because we are very pleased with the look of the final product.
