It looks great but is a bit flimsy. Mine came with a corner broken in the box. Its not solid wood, but rather a particle pressed wood. Looks almost cardboard like in material under the paint. I love how tall the piece is, it looks grand and stately. The drawers feel light and cheap when opening. The distressed painted finish is nice, a mostly black color. The legs look a bit off. They do not twist in exactly straight giving it a bit of a giraffe look, but not enough to return it. Overall I'm pleased with it, just wish it came in a thicker box so shipping didn't cause a broken corner.
