We really loved this Bar Cart! And like the rest of the reviewers, the wood looks very nice. Also like the reviewers, the assembly instructions are not good at all, however, it was still not hard to put together if you have two people. There was also a significant scratch on the top of one of the shelves, but luckily it is in the back and we were able to use a furniture marker to fix it. We didn't notice it until we were just about done putting the cart together. Thank God it was something we could easily fix or I would have been livid. This bar cart is a very nice addition!
