I use mine for a small table in the spare bathroom. It has a shelf near the bottom where I have a box of shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc for guests. Guests can use the top to lay a towel, clothes, etc.  It is a fiberboard of some kind, but I’ve never seen such good quality in this stand. I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality, especially for the price. Minor assembly is required - 4 legs and bottom shelf supports. I’m a 62 year old lady & it was super simple. I recommend this product.
