I absolutely LOVE this sideboard!! Came packed very well, and there was only one small imperfection but you cant see it really. It probably happened during shipping because its so heavy. Directions were easy but I had a difficult time adjusting the door hinges, they really were giving me a fit. Its not solid wood but it looks like it is. And I like that you dont see any screws on the outside of the piece. Everything is hidden inside the doors or underneath so it makes it look more expensive. The color and size was perfect. Did I mention I love this
