The product specs reads "solid wood". There is nothing solid about it...very light weight material...wonder if it's real wood or manufactured. Not worth the price. The metal brackets seem solid. I should have looked around a bit more. I am keeping however, because they are a good size for what I need, and I hate hassling with returns. Again, my bad for not looking at weight of the product and not shopping around more...but will give a 2 because the quality is lacking.
