This was a great piece and I’m really happy with it. I’m using it to store my cookbooks and barware and eventually liquor. It was not difficult to put together by myself. It fits my need perfectly, I think it would make a great server or side board. For a holiday party, we used it to serve the appetizers. It’s partially real wood and partially engineered wood. It seems fairly sturdy. I’m pleased with the quality for the price.
