It is solid wood and fairly heavy.  I was still able to assemble it myself though screwing the top of the leg near the drawer is a bit of a pain.  As some other reviews stated there is a noticeable gap on the sides of the drawers that you really don't see in the pictures, but notice when looking straight on at the table.  One of the drawer knobs had a defect, but Wayfair had a replacement sent out right away with no questions asked.
