Arrived 2 days earlier than expected. With 2 people it took us about 2 hours to put it together. The faux marble piece is wood with a marble paper wrap on it, ours was starting to peel off a little, hence the reason we gave it 4 stars. The particle board backing we originally opted not to put on because you can even see it through the shelving. Once we got it to the spot we wanted it felt a little wobbly, so we opted to put it on and it fixed the stability issue. We left off one wine glass holder to have a little more to on the main top for taller bottles. Overall, we LOVE it!
