I bought this because I thought it would match best with my very expensive Salamander rack. In fact, it is a VERY GOOD match to my cherry and black Salamander rack. My MAIN problem with this piece is that it is fake wood and MDF. Had I known there was no real veneer or at least SOME real wood, I might not have bought. On the plus side it matches my current stuff ALMOST perfectly. It was VERY EASY to assemble and where I have it stored, It doesn't show one or two of it's flaws. (yes, it came with a small nick on the side and the top) Is it the worst or the cheapest? No. Would I buy again? Maybe, maybe not. I prefer real woods and solid things that will last, we'll have to wait and see if this does.
