darker and cheaper laminate that shown.  looks cheap, I bought the walnut color.  sturdy enough and thankfully its not a main piece, looks very dated.  Maybe in black or white it would look better.  function is fine, size is perfect for what I needed as a place to store wine glasses and accent service dishes not in use all the time.  Also easily scratches.  keep looking, would have rather paid a little more for better quality and look.
