Easy to put together, this was the perfect complement to my mod-style chairs and office setting. However, it is a lot shinier than I was hoping. I mean, I can really see my reflection on this thing. And it picks up grease better than a kitchen exhaust fan. However, it is easy to clean and looks great. I plan on replacing it in a few years with a non-MDF style piece, but for not it looks great and works well.
