I purchased this piece with the intention to use it for displaying some of the small miniature furniture and 1:12 scale dolls that I sell. This cabinet is ideal for small spaces as it is very compact and makes a great pedestal table for a small plant, sculpture, etc. Beveled glass door keeps small collectibles free of dust and in open view for an attractive display. The finish is very nice, but as I have only had this for about one week, I cannot say it endures well over time. Already assembled! I often look for assembled pieces when purchasing furniture on Overstock because I have bought an armoire and a couple of wooden trunks which were unassembled and putting them together was easy, but very time consuming. So this is ideal for those of you who don't have a lot of time or patience for such things. Arrived a few business days after I placed my order. Excellent service from Overstock (as usual). I would say the value here is good, but I wouldn't call it a steal.
