The material was slightly cheaper than anticipated. The top wood piece was bowed, but was able to be flattened when attached to the frame. The doors were especially disappointing because they are thin, yet hard to screw hardware into. The self tapping screws were the most difficult to install and often stripped before they fastened. The screws that secure the fire place were also difficult to fasten because the screw placement was too close to the fireplace to allow a screwdriver to be used head on (hand didnt fit). The end product looks alright, but was not worth the roughly 4 hours it took to put together. Pay someone else to assemble this.
