This is a great item for the price. The "wood" looks surprisingly real--though be careful not to scratch it--it does scratch easily. It was pretty easy to put together--took about an hour--and looks great! My only issue is that i wish there were holes in the back of the cabinets rather than in the middle; or in addition to the middle--because it would be nice to store the router, etc. in the cabinets so you don't see them at all.
