This server was a pleasant surprise for me.  It looked beautiful in my small space dining area and was the perfect size to hold what I needed.  The shelves are a lot taller/larger than they look!  It's also pretty decent quality for fake wood, it even tolerated many occasions of spilled water, etc without bubbling up or getting damaged. Assembly was a little bit of a project, I think some small issues with the directions not being super clear, but it wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of these reviews make it seem. Manageable for a solo female to do in a few hours.
