Could have been a five star review. The table is what I expected. It seems to be well made and is perfect for our entry way. My issue is that one of the drawers was not constructed squarely. Not even close, truth be told. In that the wooden slide mechanism is glued into place, I will have to break it and reconstruct it so the drawer closes properly. Rebuilding a new piece of furniture is not what I had in mind when I made the purchase... As for the shelf and top surface, they both look very nice. I will probably put a coat of varathane on both, just to ensure that they last a looong time.
Check the drawers before you assemble it.
