I’m having trouble knowing how to rate this item. At this price point I didn’t expect it to be beautiful heavy wood or fine craftsmanship. And it’s not. But if you’re willing to do a little work it’s a good piece to upscale. I was planning on staining it, but the wood is too uneven and porous to get a nice even color so I’ve given it a light sanding and will paint it (also as others have said, the black dust on the inside of the laser cuts is impossible to clean off and needs to be sealed). Straight out of the box it definitely needs a cleanup (was covered in quite a bit of fine sawdust) and the legs on mine are uneven, so need to be cut. So 3 Stars for the overall design with the caveat that you may need to put in some effort to make it more than
