The cabinet was relatively easy to put together, however once assembled it had a lean to the left or the right. I ended up going to home depot to salvage the purchase. I bought some L bracket for the back corners and, when this didnt stabilize the cabinet, bought a thin piece of wood 26 inches in length and 24 inches in width along with some furniture screws. I screwed this into the back of the cabinet with 3 screws on the top and 3 on the bottom- presto, the cabinet was solid. I gave it 3 stars, despite the extra work, because it is awfully pretty. It did come with some dents to the top (I bought some ebony furniture fill touch up, also from home depot). All in all, I probably spent 50 bucks to make it work, but work it does. Im using it as a liquor cabinet- full bottles on the bottom shelf and tequila bottles on the top.
A nice looking piece of furniture with work
