Easy to assemble, well-made, looks great. This is made in China (unfortunately), but it is of excellent quality. The packaging was top-notch for the long trip stateside. No damage at all. There are several brands out there that look similar, but this was the one with the best price (and good reviews). Made of real wood, not particle board. (The sides are made of oak plywood. The rest is actual solid wood. The top is solid oak.) Shipping was extremely fast -- 2 days.
