If you want to add a touch of class and a little bit of extra to your library or office this is the piece to go with. Matches perfectly with the office set. I debated if I needed the item when I bought the desk, credenza and bookshelf but so glad I went for it. It spins at the bottom and at the top so it can function as a small game table too. As many noted, there are holes in the wood, and this is true for all the pieces in the ensemble but I feel it adds to the character of the wood and does not deter from it one bit. Truly original. Comes fully assembled out of the box.
