I ordered it in cherry and I am loving it. The assembly might take quite some time, it took my husband almost a day with some help from me to put this together. It's some hard work in the assembly department but we are not much of handymen and were able to do it with the instructions and with some prior knowledge of working with tools at DIY projects and some fumblings along the way. I would say you need some prior knowledge of putting furniture together. As with every other online purchase, I scoured the internet for a china cabinet that could fit the small nook corner and hold my china and other serving items. I didn't have space for big china cabinet in my home and this one just fits the space perfectly and looks gorgeous! Has a rich nice finish to the wood...better than I expected! Just love those drawers. Now I am wanting to display it at a more prominent location. Could not have gotten anything better than this for this size anywhere. Great Buy!
