Read hardwoods as compressed wood pulp kinda like thick paper. Very poor holding abilities for screws (hence the aluminum cheap cam lock things that twist and snap when turned with more force than a six year old's wrist. I had to repair 1 piece before assembly and then ended up short on hardware. The top is the only part worthy of the price. Had I seen this unit first, I would have expected a price around $180.
