I should have paid more attention to the description, it is all particle (pressed wood) it looks nice enough and it's just going into a guest room/office so we kept it, but it likely won't hold up long term or through any moves etc. and it is HEAVY!! :-) It takes a while to assemble, but I did do it by myself and it is not difficult kudos to whoever wrote the instructions cause they are amazingly easy to understand!!!!
