Solid wood and looks excellent in the kid's room.  Only downside is I thought the drawers were built into the unit.  They are not.  They slide around under my son's bed.  Hubby and I are going to drill in a 2x4 behind them so they stop sliding too far under the bed.  Outside of that, not too bad.  We got this put together in about 2 - 2 1/2 hours
