This unit appears to have more of a matte finish but it is shiny and looks low quality. I'm really surprised and have been thrilled with my other All Modern purchases and almost opened a credit card as I am buying a new house.  This unit was incredibly complex for 2 people to assemble and we still can't nail in the back panel without splintering the unit.  We don't want it and we don't want to have to pay to have it shipped back.  Please help!
