This unit is an attractive take on the shaker style. We did, however, choose to switch out the handles for black oval knobs that seem more appropriate. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The unit is well made of solid wood and the parts fit together very well. There’s lots of useful and well planned storage space, too. My only concern as been that the pine top seems to scratch easily, so investing in a blending crayon might be a good idea. Overall, we are quite pleased with this purchase.
