I love the natural wood look of it. It is a bit cherry like in color, not as in picture where it appears lighter. It looks expensive and is quiet heavy but after assembling it myself,  I know the material used is cheap. If you tighten too hard peices chip off. Be careful gluing the wood pieces. I made the mistake of gluing the wrong pieces and they were impossibly to remove. Before you glue, you have to first check how they fit together! It still worked for me in the end, but the assembly of the small side skirt is not as tight because of my mistake.
