The furniture was as pictured. Instructions were easy to follow and its nice piece. We liked the final product. We had some delays in finishing the assembly due to damaged or missing parts. But the seller was responsive and able to send us the replacement pieces within a week. My only tip is to review all the pieces before assembly so that you can request replacement pieces all at once. We didnt notice that a 2nd panel needed to be replaced until we got to that stage and it delayed the completion. But yhe seller was helpful.
