The photos are true to life - this is a great sideboard for my home office. It matches my modern tropical theme perfectly. It was simple to assemble and I did it myself in about 90 minutes (would probably be faster with a second person, but not necessary). It feels sturdy and has held up well for the month or so that I've had it. Lots of storage in the cabinets and on the top. I would highly recommend this to someone looking to add some character (and storage) to their home office!
