The item was packed very well, is all solid wood and sturdy once assembled. The color is on spot, but take note of the measurements as the picture makes it look a little bigger than it is. No biggie though, since the size is still perfect for the area I have it in. It took me a little over an hour to put together, which could be shortened by using a screw gun to assemble the base portion. 



Pros: Excellent value and definitely worth the money.
