The storage cabinet is actually solid and looks good. It takes a LONG time to put together, probably three hours and we put a LOT of furniture together. The reason for the three star? The fireplace insert is simply one of the most fake and ugly fireplaces you can imagine. We were almost laughing (but not quite) at how tacky it looked and the lights. We will keep the cabinet (since we put it together) and buy a more realistic fireplace, but really, really ugly. Even without the lights, the backdrop looks completely cheap. Shame, because as I said, it's a nice cabinet and fits well where we wanted it.
