I like the look of it and the veneers look realistic. There are lots of pieces so don't plan on it being a quick build. I did on my own with no assistance. Pretty good instructions -- I did miss the strip that covers the seem of the 2 flimsy panels that go across the back of the lower cabinet so watch for that. There are no extra screws/fasteners so keep track of your parts. I found it odd that there were no covers for the shelf screws that are very visible, so I covered them with small brown felt chair leg pads. Brown contact paper would be better.

I really like this shelf the quality is great and the materials feel strong and sturdy

Nice color wood, not too light or dark. Looks natural. A little time consuming to assemble but worth it.

Love it!

This piece feels heavy and sturdy. It went together beautifully and fits my space so well. The cabinets close nicely, note I changed out the knobs to something I liked better, although the knobs that came with it were a nice feel/weight too. No issues with self assembly and it was packed nicely.
