We bought the distressed pine.  We love it!   it is perfect in our house and the space we needed to put it.  i had trouble finding exactly what i needed, with preferred height, and was i limited in the width.  Found several i liked but either they were too wide or shorter than i needed, or not a good color for our house, (or way too expensive).  i liked this one.  It is better than we expected!  My husband loves it.  We were thrilled it did not come unassembled (we just went thru a bad experience with that).   I read reviews about some people experiencing a strong odor, but we did not.  It smells like pine.  It is perfect!
