Love the way it looks but one of the legs was broken on arrival. A neighbor glued it back into place for me and all is well but I'm bummed that that was necessary. The wood is unusual. It has a very nice, antique look. The wood is also very soft and I will need to add a varnish of some kind - pretty sure that any moisture will leave a permanent ring. I'm happy that I bought it, it looks lovely but it has required some effort to use. Not a "good to go out of the box" purchase.
