The wood is beautiful. It is cherry and goes with the rest of the wood in the home. It turned out to be smaller than I thought it was going to be but that was my fault because the measurements were stated. So that is on me. The one thing I was a  little upset about is where the drawer pulls are, the screw holes look like they have been punched through and splintered the wood. Usually the screw holes are smooth round and done with a drill bit, but these were not. So with a little work and touch up and the pulls put on, we were able to cover it. For the price of it I felt that should not had to be done. But over all it is a beautiful piece of furniture.
