Once assembled it looks lovely, but I would not recommend this item to anyone because it is incredibly difficult to put together, by far the worst item I've ever assembled. It's designed so that you build an incredibly heavy top section first, separate to the bottom row of the unit with the drawers. You then connect the two on the ground and have to then lever up a very heavy item with weak connections between the top and bottom sections. Several of the connectors broke in the process and we had to abandon that way of doing it. Instead we eventually managed to lift the top section onto the bottom - we're both quite strong but found this very very difficult because it's so heavy. It's now assembled and, I think, stable, but I hope we never have to move it as there are a lot of broken bits in there.
