There was a time when we bought domestic products bc of pride in American ingenuity and craftsmanship. Woodshed's products take you back there. This CD storage rack is solid oak and is ready to use out of the box. It is built to last. Very attractive furniture that can be displayed with pride. No cheap veneer or particle board - this will look just as good 15-20 years from now. No complaints at all! Am so glad I stumbled into Wood Shed's products.
