I bought two of these and they feel solid and look handsome.  They were packed with great care, arrived quickly and undamaged, and needed no assembly whatsoever. The size (not easy to find) seems perfectly proportioned and they have a rich finish and quality feel. One did come more "distressed" than the other, the only criticism I have. (Yes, I had been adequately warned, but one top corner of one of them lacked a bit of paint or finish altogether. Fortunately. it is just a rear corner, going to face the wall.) All things considered, I would recommend.
