The item looks like the photo. The legs are a plastic not wood or medal. While putting stand together the screws were damaging the finish so be very careful. My other stand which I recently purchased suggested glue on the pegs but this one did not. The instructions were not clear there were only photos and vague on how to attach the metal slider for drawer which is where the assembly became difficult. A video would have definitely helped. All in all the stand is what I expected.
