The wood grain finish is very fake looking. This piece will serve the purpose we need it to (as some extra pantry storage and a surface to use as a tea counter in a kitchen that has a weird layout) and it's got some stylish design in terms of the curves on the cabinet faces, but I may sell it on FB marketplace when I can get something else because it's pretty cheap looking and doesn't feel like a piece of long-term nice furniture. You get what you pay for, though, and for ~$200, this is pretty good.
