The pieces are solid wood (espresso finish) and they look nice. Easy to assemble but be sure to follow the directions. What I was really impressed with was how they made the back of the cabinet. I've made other ready-to-assemble furniture, like book cases, where the back of it is thick cardboard and is attached to the outside back via small nails. I can see why manufacturers would do this because it is much cheaper for them. For this cabinet though, the back is thin plywood and it is attached to the back via grooves inside the cabinet - no nails or glue! This is the type of back I see from the show The New Yankee Workshop which I think could fool other people to thinking it's not ready-to-assemble.

Two small things prevented me from giving it 5 stars. The first is the door stop that's inside the cabinet to prevent the door from going too far in the cabinet. The door stop (two of them) is made of plastic with what looks like a magnet inside and one of mine was cracked. It wasn't enough to send it back but I ended up taping it together and it seems ok. What was also weird is, the door itself had no metal strip inside it so the door stop having a magnet doesn't make sense. Fortunately, the door is snug enough not to need a magnet to hold it closed. The second thing is the strong odor of furniture polish. I don't think it's the smell of wood because it's too strong. When I open the door, I get a whiff of what I normally smell from furniture polish (and I didn't use anything on it - just a duster). It was strong enough that I worried if it would somehow leave a taste in the wine glasses I have stored in it. I've used a wine glass from it and did not detect any off-taste so that's good.

I would definitely buy again - will see if Winsome also makes end tables since I'm in need of one.

I agree with the comments written by the prior reviewers - very nice looking, fairly easy to assemble. While I am not a regular reviewer, I had 2 concerns with the cabinet. 1) the back panel was damaged and 2) the smell of polish does not seem to go away. On the issue of the polish, I have left the cabinet out over night to air out and closed it with an open container of baking soda and am unable to get rid of the harsh smell. I am concerned with the taste it may leave in a stored wine glass. Will experiment with a glass that has been in there for a day or two. The back panel was less problematic and I was not interested in getting a replacement panel because I wanted to have it assembled for the holidays. Overall, a good piece of furniture with a heavy polish smell that does not appear to go away.

I was able to get it on sale from amazon for $99 and I'll say, this thing I would have payed $250 for and I'm cheap. The wood quality is great, the only pieces that feel like less than stellar wood are the back/side panels and the wine rack. These are still far above par in quality, thick ply panels. My back panel did come slightly damaged, a small crack, however it seems like it won't be a structural problem and would be very hard to notice. It was simple to assemble, took about 15 minutes. The only trouble I had with assembly is that the wine rack pieces were not perfectly symmetrical. There is a right way to put them all together, however you need to experiment to make them assemble to give you a flat surface for the middle shelf to sit on. All in all I love this purchase, and I think if you see it for 100 bucks again it is a no brainier.

I received this as a wedding gift and I love it! It is exactly how it appears and is of very solid construction for something ordered online. For $100 dollars you will not find better quality.

Overall a great product for the price and a "just right" size. Everything arrived earlier than expected and the packaging and finished product came out perfect. Contrary to other reviews, I did not have a scratch or problem of any sorts. Assembly is less than an hour even if you are a perfectionist. Very slight odor of stain or polish but that was gone when I was finished assembling. Each part is foam wrapped so shipping damage is only going to happen if you drop the whole box in delivery. At about 65 lbs, the unopened box might be a little hassle but no problem for the average guy or two people. Everything is nicely marked and can be assembled with a screwdriver or use the enclosed allen wrench. Nice little details on the inside shelf, legs and routered top. It easily holds a dozen large red wine glasses and still has plenty of room for openers, stoppers, and misc wine items. I am having a small glass top made for the top of the cabinet to protect it from scratches and alcohol stains and rings. It holds a case of wine nicely as a stop to unclutter your fridge or save steps down to a wine cellar/basement during a party.

This item is Beautiful! My hisband put it together in just over an hour. He is a perfectionist, so may take half as long for others. He did not say that any parts were missing as can often be the case with items you put together. There is a "furniture polish " smell that lasted a couple of days but went away. I did a fair amount of pricing at furniture stores and online. This was just perfect for us to sit in dining room with 22' flat screen TV on top! it holds wine and liquor bottles so it makes a lovely addition to the room- I just love it!!

Easy to put together and definitely looks more expensive than it is. + it has a good wood smell.

Great cabinet. Nice dark color and a solid frame. Can hold up to 16 wine bottles and larger liquor bottles too. Assembly takes roughly 30 minutes.

This cabinet is a phenominal addition to our furniture collection, anybody looking for a comparable product look no further!!! We certainly love this piece and could not be more satisfied! 5 stars!

The cabinet is of much better quality then i thought it would be, when considering the price. The only complaint that I have is that the door is not 100% aligned, but no big deal since it still looks great.
