We received our cabinet in excellent condition. It took about 4 hours for two people who are not handy to put together. The process was smooth and straight forward. The color is a bit darker than it appears on the website, close to black color as the other buyer mentioned.  The shelves behind the right door are removable at any time. We skipped 3 shelves for now to make handbags and rain boots fit in. It is heavy and steady and looks great in our hallway. Very happy with the purchase.
