The description of the piece states that "This chest is made out of wood..." IF you consider press board/particle board to be "WOOD" it may be technically correct - but so is paper.  
Disregarding that, overall it is a quality piece of furniture for the material of manufacture.

Pros: Very nice finish. Good price when on sale.
Cons: A couple of assembly steps are awkward. The two (2) wood screws that screw to the top are very difficult to install - no predrilled holes & little space to work.
