Was just as described.  I bought two to use side by side as a free standing room divider for decorative items and functional storage.  Looks great and get lots of compliments. Assembly was slow as other reviewers mentioned, but worth it!   As for the complaints about the screw hole covers, I didn't use them.  Instead I bought a wood stain touch-up pen and stained the insides of the holes to match.  Quick, cheap, and easy and now they blend right in.  They're barely noticeable, and I think it looks normal, like it was designed to be that way.
