Unfortunately mine arrived a little dinged up, and the gold paint scuffed off in spots.  Luckily the areas where the paint was scuffed was on the bottom portion of each tray, so you can't see if from above.  It is a beautiful bar cart, but it is not sturdy.  Especially for those who have carpet in their apartment or homes, just keep in mind that it will wobble some if you try and move it around!
