Looks great. The veneer is not real wood. It's like a sticker. It looks great but feels synthetic to the touch. Nonetheless, for the price, this is a great piece that looks really good. The storage on the side is convenient and I love the glass panel. Assembly wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but even a 5th grader could make sense of it. Overall, great product, but I would have paid more if the veneer was real wood.
