5 month update. 
The piece is still beautiful but the vertical slats are poorly designed. They are very thin nails and if something knocks the slats from the inside they pop out and are very difficult to put back in. I will have to try with a wood glue and see. It’s a gorgeous piece but someone dropped the ball in designing the vertical slats. 


Phenomenal purchase. It is beautiful, extremely well made, and easy to use. The doors open wide, don’t swing uncontrollably and have a delicate close.
