Visually it is an impressive piece, but when you look closely who notice a lot of surface scratches on the black and can tell that this is not solid wood. It was one of the more complicated assemblies we’ve done. Took two people over 4 hours to complete because some of the hardware (particularly the hinges) did not align with instructions. I did appreciate how each piece was individually labeled. Overall I’m happy with the look of the sideboard and have accepted that I will likely have to repaint or down the road even with light use.
