This is a great product, especially for the price. We purchased this during a Christmas sale. With the exception of the shelf backing and the metal legs, this is made of beautiful, sturdy solid wood. Due to variations in the wood grain, this should age well unlike cheap MDF or particleboard furniture. Took my husband about 10 minutes to put together. We're very pleased and have even heard compliments on it from my brother-in-law who rarely pays attention to home decor. Great purchase!
