I would have given this a higher rating had it been of better quality. There are only 3 pieces of actual wood, the front facing legs and ledge, the rest is fake wood, sturdy, but fake. When you assemble it you need to hammer the dowels in, doing so, even gently and not all the way causes indentations and cracks in the top of the bench. So now there are a few little dents on the top of the piece. You cant see them too bad, but close enough and it's noticeable. It looks nice otherwise. It's not light, has some weight to it. My other complaint is it's short, I'm not sure if the measurements for height were listed and I just didn't pay attention or if it wasn't, but it's shorter than I expected. I thought it would be taller like a sofa table or console table but it's too short for that application. Luckily we have a shorter couch that it fits behind nicely. I considered using it as a TV shelf, as it's about the same height of a tv stand. but the cubes are not wide enough for a DVD player or cable box. All those complaints said, it's still a nice piece and I would consider getting a second one if the need arises. However that time, I think the dowels will be put in much more gingerly.
Also, the shipper was great. I think they sold this for a fair price, and the shipping was very fast. They must have sent it out for shipping the same day i ordered it, so I would recommend visiondecor as a vendor.
Thanks,
Nikita
