For the price the quality is great. can be built with or without the legs (there is no glass in doors it is open). The back is color matched and seems to be more sturdy than the cardboard backs on some other build it your self items. (only issue I had was lining up the doors to match, there are several adjustments to get them right and it took a wile to line them up and not rub somewhere.) Perfect in every way.
Absolutely beautiful! Bought this to make a coffee bar for this weird nook in my kitchen and it is absolutely perfect! I gave it 4 stars since one of the drawers are not properly lined up but its sef a great buy What a great buy!
It was everything and more I had hoped for! Very well made solid piece. The only issue I have is when you store the tv boxes behind 8th e glass drawers, I need to leave the doors open for the signal to work. Absoutely love it!!
Looks great, but had to order a replacement due to damage. Second piece still had some damage along the edges with chipped paint. Frustrating to purchase furniture and have damage. Piece looks great in our home. Sturdy construction and easy to assemble.
First off let me preface this, I have put together hundreds of prefab furniture pieces over the years. Im a bit fanatical how things should fit (as an Auto Tech I am just built this way, lol) My first impressions unboxing this thing was the packaging was done nice enough to keep pieces from becoming damaged during transit. And oh yeah, its heavy about 100lbs which is ok cause good furniture should be heavy. Everything came out of the box looking good. Next sort through the assembly hardware. Hmmm, wooden dowels and gluenot a deal killer but my first clue that I may not be happy. Assorted screws, camlocks (look cheap but we will see )etc all labeled nicely and all accounted for. Start assembling, ok the directions are clear no problems here.moving on.
Half of the way thru Im heavy into the cam lock part of the assembly and this is where Im not happy. I quickly realize my first instinct about the quality of the camlocks is true. 3 issues prop up, 1st the camlocks dont have the usual positive engagement feel most others have. Meaning you cant feel the lock engage and stop. These feel as if you never now when the lock has finally come to its fitting position. 2nd I start to find when the holes were bored for the cam locks the factory never cleaned them out properly. So now i start to clear the holes with a screw driver first hoping this changes the camlock engagement. Sadly it doesnt cause I find problem 3 which is holes not bored deep enough nor are the attaching pins on the adjacent boards set to the correct depth. End result is you must stop short tightening the cam locks or you just cracked the boards. And yes I cracked the face board at the very top. A small bulls eye appeared as I heard the sound of wood splitting. Because of the color and texture and location I realize this imperfection will probably never go noticed. Im pissed but Im not stopping at this point. What was I going to do? Box it up and sent it back. Kinda get the feeling the manufactures already consider this scenario.
So my final impressions where that I felt like this was some rookies first attempt at designing a piece of prefab furniture. If so they get a C minus for the build aspect and hardware assembly aspect. I have put together similar pieces with 2/3 less hardware and a whole lot less assembly time than this piece ( 3hrs for this piece) . On the flip side of the assembly and why I ended with 3 stars was after its put together this thing is very pretty, its sturdy and well its almost unique in its appearance. Dont recommend
One of the door hinges is bent but otherwise its exactly what I wanted! Takes two people to put together. Lots of pieces. Heavy and sturdy. Im enjoying it so far!
A little smaller (length) than expected, scratched top, and NO MANUAL provided, but we found one online and overall looks nice. Very unhappy with this product.
The back of one of the facing pieces was broken off. (The dowel was broken off in the hole) I glued it back on and it doesnt show. Just hope it will not fall apart. Colour is not at all like in the picture.
Great value, doors and drawers are smooth, looks sturdy. However, disappointed there is a scratch on the top surface. May try to fix with sharpie to cover it up. Would appreciate reply from seller. Thank you. Poor durability

Needs more attention to details but it is beautiful

Disappointed
After beginning assembly, noticed a sizable chip out of the front. Too late to return. Assembly took way too long.and FYI involves gluing.
