More rustic than I anticipated based on the thumbnail images for the medium brown finish. The wood grain on the front is very textured and apparent, more so than most mango wood I’ve encountered. It is very smooth on the sides (almost like veneer but it says it’s solid wood), so a bit of an odd juxtaposition. That said, it seems like a solid piece of furniture. It holds a lot. The shelves are wood. The doors open smoothly and close nicely without gaps and the pull handles seem sturdy.
