As a piece of furniture, it's great. It's sturdy, seems to be well built, and suits our need for a tv stand. However the color was not at all like the picture. The actual color is much closer to dark cherry stain, not the varied, rustic stain in the picture. Also the description says the wood is reclaimed which is not true. It's DISTRESSED to look old, but is not actually reclaimed. It's a good thing that the color wasn't a deal breaker for me.
