Item was perfect and exactly as described.  Material doesn't seem to be wood, but some kind of composite material which actually looks very modern and is sturdy enough.  One thing we wondered from the pictures was if the back was supported or if it was wall mounted in the back.  Turns out the "stripe" piece that goes down the middle of the unit does touch the floor so it sits almost like a tricycle.  Wasn't hard to put together and we're very happy with it!
