The finished piece is just as nice as the pictures show online. I have already received compliments on he piece. However, I do agree with all of the previous reviews that it takes quite a bit of time to assemble - I would say 5-6 hours. I was able to assemble completely solo, though. The drawers are much more shallow than they show too. The face of the drawers is about 1.5-2" higher than the actual drawer itself. The price of this item changes a lot and consistently goes on sale! Unfortunately, I didn't know that when I bought it for around ***, and then about 2 weeks later, it was almost *** cheaper. Watch the item for awhile before forking out the close to *** .
