The general appearance of the cabinet is good. I love the cross design with the rustic appeal. It was, however, difficult during assembly due to several pieces of the wood being bowed. Upon completing the build there is a small gap above the right drawer due to bowing. There was also a chip in one of the side pieces of wood. I did not want to deal with the hassle of exchanging it, so I was able to cover it with paint. Besides those two issues it is a lovely piece of furniture.
