Yeah, it's not pretty. Looks a bit too much like a washer-dyer combo, if you ask me. On the other hand, it was cheap, it actually works and it's sturdy enough to stand up to my kids.

Well, it did recently take a bit of punishment from a two-year-old armed with crayons. Fortunately, it's reasonably washable.
