The assembled piece looks like the photo and works fine, but putting this thing together was an exercise in frustration. I've assembled a lot of flat-pack furniture in my life and this was by far the worst one ever. Useless instructions that consisted of nothing but low-quality photos. No pre-drilled holes for the feet or door hinges. Just crazy. I had to get out the power tools to finish it. Construction nightmare aside, it looks decent and holds shoes. Up close, the "wood" veneer looks a little fake. But again, it's for shoes.
