This armoire was just what I needed. The plantation oak color is a shade darker than golden oak and honey oak shades. It's very heavy, which means it's easier to have someone else hold it in place while you put the top screws in place. I used the screws that came with the armoire, but I did use thicker wall plugs just in case. It holds a lot of jewellery and displays it nicely so that you can see what you have. I actually wear some items more often since I got this!
