[...]....it is real wood for the most part, and went together well with easy-to-understand directions (take your time). The color was a blend of walnut and cherry, which I liked. The doors are only slightly off horizontally and could be straightened with a hinge shim, but I didn't think necessary. Be careful about not screwing in the cam locks too far, as they will start to push out the wood on the opposite side. Overall, I am fairly pleased with this item so far...it has been up about a week and supports a 47" flat screen TV quite well.
