I bought this and got it in the mail.  Like many others I had trouble with the assembly.  I actually broke a board as I was trying to get the top down on the unit.  The side panel is made out of a low grade composite wood board, and the center support panel is made out of a higher grade composite wood board.  The top and bottom of the cabinet are made of solid wood.  Overall the veneer on the TV stand looks fine but the materials are cheaper pieces.
