This is five-star in the context of inexpensive furniture.  I needed a coffee table with storage room, so the bottom shelf and two drawers fit the bill.  The drawers open a little roughly because it's wood on wood, no rollers and such.  There was a hand print in the paint, but on the underside of the shelf, so no one can see it.  Mine arrived in fine condition, unlike some of the other reviews.  And as others have stated, this is not really distressed, just a little wear on some of the edges.
