all corners & abutment points lined up very well
I've bought my share of "put together" pieces of furniture, so I expected some corners to line up less than ideal. All the pieces lined up well to speed up the process of constructing (which was minimal) & to reinforce the integrity of the piece. No weak seams/corners. The final test was the completed appearance. The two front doors were parallel to each other, making it close snug without an uneven gap or overlapping, also making the two knobs even and level in appearance. This overall finished look made the piece look very rich. The espresso color was very true to "espresso." Very dark brown, looking almost black in dim lighting and very dk brown in bright light. No slight cherry look that espresso can often look like. We were going for as close to a black look as possible and this was perfect.
