Better quality than I expected for the price. Solid wood with veneer. Assembly was a little challenging. Not all the areas are pre drilled and the screws you use for attaching the top are long enough that if you are just a little too aggressive they will come through. Thankfully this only happened with one screw and the damage is unnoticeable. Also lining up the holes for the top with the dowels was challenging and took some strength. Looks very good in our living room and definitely worth it.
