Overall, this is a great piece. Especially once I added my own tweaks. I changed out the legs and handles using birch logs.
My only complaints are, as others mentioned, the doors are a bear to wrestle into place. As you can see by the image, there is a bit more wrestling to be done. But this kind of thing is not uncommon for build/it/yourself stuff so Im not digging it a star for that. My real complaint is the coverage of the screw heads. The stickers provided are practically translucent and the black screw head is plainly visible. Additionally, the overlapping portion just looks gray and dirty. I will eventually figure out a way to cover this up and keep the overall esthetic clean but it bugs me evry time I look over at the piece. And I work from home and it sits right in my line of sight. Sigh.
As for its purpose and overall look in my home? I couldnt be happier with it. It is a beautiful piece. I love the finish and lines. It is marred only by the ugly stickers.
I would still recommend this just be aware of what the pitfalls are.
Excellent piece save a few niggling details
