Super solid, real wood and very high end look!  I cant believe the quality and expensive look I got for this price. Im a researcher and looked for months for the perfect shelves to fill the space over my kitchen sink and Im SO glad I made this purchase. I did have to get different hardware since I couldnt use studs, but that should not be a deterrent, well worth the extra 4 to make this happen! In a kitchen full of gray and white, this piece brings amazing warmth!
