The wood finish is very nice . I purchased it to put towels in next to my bathroom and it is perfect for that. What I did not like is the screws were  not strong. I did not use a drill and while I was turning the screws I can see  the head of the screws being destroyed and one even broke. Stronger screws would be better.. it was easy to assemble and I did it in 2 hours alone. It is beautiful
