This really fit my space nicely. Compared to other show storage units it's taller and more narrow, great for a small room. The color is really nice. True to the images on Wayfair. It took less than an hour to put together, and that was by myself. It is definitely a manufactured wood product. Don't think you're getting something genuinely aged or weathered, which you shouldn't for this price point. But that's why I wanted it, the style is great but it's going to get beat up with high traffic in and out (and a 9 yo boy!) Overall, a great experience with my first Wayfair purchase!
