Weak and not what it looks like online

This thing really is a piece of junk. I sent the return five minutes after unpacking. I took some REAL LIFE photos so everyone else can see what it looks like in real life. How it differs from the seller's pictures: - It is much lighter in color. They try to make it darker and more saturated, almost red tones, but no! It's just white bamboo. The screws on the side appear to be hidden, they aren't even visible from an angle, but they aren't. Half of it is sticking out of the wood like a fifth grader project. The knife groove shown in the picture literally does not exist. The real thing only has one drawer divided into space for a knife. Because it's so deep and narrow, I had a hard time getting the bread knife out when I put it in because I couldn't wrap my fingers around the handle. I had to reach further, closer to the blade, it's not safe! Two images show a "slightly vented cutting board [drawer]" attached to the drawer itself, but that is not the case. It's just a loose, thin, HIGH ventilated grill. Good luck cutting anything. How does this differ from the description: - "has a classic slide top design that is easy to openโ€: NOT easy to open at all. In my photos you can see that the roll top cover is made of bamboo strips glued to a thin fabric. In my other picture you can see the guide groove is roughly cut rather than a smooth curve. It pulls so hard that I have to hold the bread box with my free hand. Definitely not ADA friendly ;) I wish the seller would tell me with a straight face that it's "easy" to stretch fabric over rough wood! It's funny. The fact that they even claim there is a cutting board in the drawer is insulting. It's so thin. I will never cut anything on it - "SOLID and elegant bamboo construction": NO, not strong at all. I feel like I'll break that pathetic handle every time I open or close it. How ugly it is: - The screws are an ugly color and don't match the wood. Her eyes are on her. The bamboo slats used are capped to prevent them from lining up, leaving gaps in the hinged lid (in my drawing) and making the "cutting board" look like a miniature palette. Don't waste your time and money. Even the packaging material is cheap junk! Now I have some tiny pieces of styrofoam on my dining room floor that I need to sweep up. it was made for you by a friend or relative at a high school carpentry workshop, but preferably made of hardwood).
