Halfway assembling my 2 shelves. Well packaged and easy to assemble. Very impressive with the crown molding. A good weight making it a very sturdy piece. Creates character in the room without taking up visual space. I would give it a try. I've searched for months and this was the best price, design and size I found. Delivery was quick. 

Cons: I wasn't aware that the grain of wood has random white paint in the grooves of the wood finish. Minimal to create a distressed look I suppose. I didn't think it was necessary.
