Vietnam is the new China. Remember when furniture from China was actually decent quality? Not any more. But this item came from Vietnam. All solid wood. It stained beautifully. Solid construction. You do have to attach it to the wall to keep it from tipping over, but I could not make it tip forward. It also says don't put TV on top. Even then I could not make it tip forward.  I attached it securely to the wall anyway to be safe. Easy to assemble. The price, quality, and style - all perfect and exactly what I needed.
