The product looks exactly as shown in the picture, except it isnt as tall as is in the picture. However, the measurements given are accurate, so it was totally my fault not paying attention to that (Id love a bit taller). It states that it could handle 50 lb, but Im not sure about that. Im using it as a decorative item. so it isnt important to me. But if youre planning to use it as an actual storage, keep in mind that it is really small in every way, so not much could be stored in it. And it isnt made of wood, obviously, so please dont expect solid sturdiness. Yet, it isnt wobbly at all. Assembly was a bit challenging (maybe 6/7 hours) because I dont have much experience in assembling furniture. But I followed picture/guide exactly, with careful study of every picture (trust me, there are no extraneous details) and everything worked out well. Having a second person helps, but not a must / I managed to get it done alone and without damaging anything. You do need soft surface to work on, otherwise you will scratch veneers easily, and then it wont be pretty. I do have to say that the design and assembly protocol are ingenious, truly. I was impressed many times.
Drawbacks: 1) I would check the supplied hardware before starting the assembly or even full unpacking. The box with hardware is at the top level in the package (the package was placed horizontally on the floor). Mine was missing Shelf Pin Sleeves / 8 of them. Im not sure why there are needed, because the shelf pins work just fine without any sleeves. Maybe Im missing something. But, if this item was missing, so could be anything else. All of the hardware is necessary, except the sleeves I mentioned. 2) The two doors are difficult to fit in properly. My left door was fine from the first go. But I spend a lot of time on the second (right door), trying to adjust the hinges. I ended up choosing a bit of misfit on the side adjacent to the hinges vs. the top of the door. Now, I had to stop the adjustment because Im not sure how many times one could screw in and unscrew given the fact that it is a particle board. Again, Im not planning to use it as an actual storage, so it should work well. 3) Four of the Cover Caps wouldnt stay in place. Not sure why. Tried several times. But the rest of those ( 8 caps) worked flawlessly. Now, the 4 are all on the inside, so not a big deal. I probably will get Gorilla glue to fix it. Overall, this furniture piece is very pretty, especially for the price, very slim, which is hard to find, and it fits well into the bedroom (as a decoration and a vase pedestal). So Im happy. Thank you .
