The unit is pressed sawdust cowered with veneer. Assembles easy enough,  though a bit tedious with all the small parts. Looks good and doors slide well. The construction is a bit flimsy, easily shakes, so don't put any vases on top. Will not survive a move to different apartment/house but will serve the purpose well if left standing in one place forever

Pros: Looks, functionality
Cons: Cheap materials
