Its very beautiful once put together.  It takes no time at all to put this together and the directions are very easy to follow.  The espresso color is very beautiful, the only thing i didn't pay attention to is that the sides are made of metal.  It was off putting when i first opened the box, but once its all built it comes together very nicely.  Its a really nice size and good wood for the price.  I would recommend this to others for sure, especially since the price point is really good.
