The pieces came labeled with stickers to match in the instructions which was very helpful! The design is sleek. There were some scratches and little chips but nothing major or in very visible areas. I just colored them in with a black permanent marker. I tried peeling the sticker off the back board but it peeled the paint off. I colored that in, too, and flipped it around. No one will see it! So, it took 2. 5 hours to put this together by myself. I studied the directions before starting because I wanted to make sure I followed the steps in a proper, logical order. (The way the directions are illustrated, everything in that step seems to be happening at once.) I used all the hardware provided (see my other post on another accent table...I ended up with 4 extra pieces and shouldnt have). The shelves slide out nicely and its enough length and depth for putting in notebooks and folders. One drawback is, as the product is packed so densely, its very heavy. To accommodate this, I opened the package downstairs and took it upstairs in pieces. Anyone lacking in upper body strength should take note. Otherwise, its beautiful, modern, and I might get another one!
