Like the description. Because the planks are unsealed, it does smell strongly of wood (not in a bad way) when you first open it, so I got to enjoy the smell of cedar in my kitchen for a couple of days. The instructions were a bit lacking, but it isn't too difficult to put together how it is supposed to be assembled. I was able to do it and mount into studs by myself and I am not the strongest lady on the block so I think this is a good piece even if you're concerned about having to lift it by yourself.
