I ordered this to use to store magazines in and it is perfect for this. It is nicely antiqued (I purchased the Natural) and goes with my decor very nicely. While made fairly sturdily is is much lighter in weight than you would think. Pros: Comes ready to use--no assembly and is lighter in weight Cons: Each one is unique so you may see areas on it which were repaired. Care has been taken however, to blend into the antique quality of the piece.

Purchased this in natural to sit on the kitchen island and store frequently used herbs and spices. I love old things, and this is most attractive, sturdy, and serves this purpose well. Shipped very quickly too.
