What a pleasant surprise! So well packaged that it arrived without a scratch. Is solid real wood, smooth sanded finish, and a beautiful cherry walnut color that goes well with both my dark walnut wood chests, and my cherry oak cabinetry! All hardware and instructions included, pictures only, but easy to understand. Tackle it in phases, because the unwrapping and hoovering styrofoam beads takes a while as phase one. Took me about 3 hours to build with a light torque drill and both hex bit and small Phillips bit, as well as a craft hammer, but i took several breaks to put my feet up for a bit. TIP: build it on carpeting or a large workbench because you may be on your knees a lot if building on the floor.
