This is a very nice piece. The color is a much lighter blue than the pictures show though. I had an issue with the backer board. It was taped down the middle of two boards, the boards were not lined up properly so the whole thing wouldnt fit right. The tape is super sticky duct tape so I had to cut down the middle of it just to be able to get the backer board in place. I taped it back together after adjusting. There were also a few very minor blemishes on it, just some spots not sanded all the way before being painted. Overall I like it a lot! Its a great size and was very easy to assemble with clear instructions!
