I preface this review by saying I blame all problems on jobber not vendor. They only sell this product and do not make it. Product arrived with minor and major finish flaws. Too many to keep. Ordered replacement. Vendor was very good about this.

Product was misrepresented by manufacturer---not vendor. It is listed as solid wood, but in reality it is particleboard with a thin coat of some type of liquor finish. Gaps in joints and screws were stripped out which is typical for particle board.
This piece is not wood. It is particle board and cardboard glued together. There is no solid wood on this product.


It was not up to my standards comparing it to my other furniture in my entry way which is solid wood. Color also was not as stated. It is a very dark brown black while the picture looks like it has a red shade.

When assembled it seemed sturdy enough, but there were so many flaws in the finish and major dings and scratches it did not look anything like the picture. It look cheap and unappealing.

I contacted the vendor and they were very helpful. They took note of my displeasure and are sending me out another one. I will scrutinize this one very closely before I attempt to assemble it. If there are major finish flaws I will send this one back too and buy something more expensive of a better quality.

This is an honest vendor and is doing everything to correct this situation. They are a pleasure to work with. Don't give up on them if you have a problem. It is not their fault. Bottom line: You get what you pay for.
