I really liked how easy this was to assemble (everything was tools free and quick until the front hardware needed to be added). However, it loses a star for how cheap the "antique" effect is. What they did was sand down some of the edges and paint those black to create a sort of distressed/antique look which does pass muster from a distance but up close it kinda looks like someone was trying too hard (or not hard enough?) on etsy. All in all, it seems sturdy and we'll keep it, just wish we knew about its shortcomings in advance. Also, one of the door panels was not completely drilled through and I had to drill in order to get the left door knob on.
