I like this product.  It is cute and fits perfectly in our laundry room.  I envisioned it to be a bit bulkier in size, but it's still a great fit for us. We actually have more room now. Putting it together wasn't the easiest, but I got it together after about 1.5 hours.  I would recommend this product if you are looking for something similar but not at a high cost.  It has a smooth black finish.  I envisioned it to be a bit "rustic" too for whatever reason...but not the products fault. :)
