I really like the function of this product and it suits my intent when I purchased it. That being said I was disappointed in two things when I opened the box. First I expected the color to be more chocolate based on the photo but the product is actually very reddish. The second disappointment was that the back panel had come off the unit during shipment. I had to reinstall the unit using a construction staple gun and a hammer. On the plus side the unit came with very good installation instructions and screw templates.

The color was very very very red. Do not buy if you are trying to match it to other mahogany furniture. This piece is basically made of particle board so it is put together like a particle board piece. It came with two black screw covers that did not even begin to fit over the screws that hold the piece up.... so a magazine has to be kept in the first slot at all times so you don't see the bright gold screws holding the piece to the wall. If I would have had time to get another magazine holder for this office waiting area I would have!

The rack arrived with the hardboard backing barely stapled on. It must have been made on Friday at 5 PM in Shanghai, because the staples were there, just not placed where they needed to go to make things secure. Rather than send it back, I pulled out the non functional staples, and used some glue and wood screws to attach the backing as is should have been done in the first place. Now that it is up, it looks nice and holds a large quantity of magazines for our waiting room.
