The wood is not reclaimed, but new rough finish in an antiqued color which is smoothed down so doesn't produce splinters.  However, the pilot holes are only 3/8" deep where the actual depth that the screws need to screw into is 1-1/2" to 2".  It was impossible for me to do this without the help of a handy man, which defeats the whole purpose of getting this crate through Wayfair.  And the screws were not deck screws that are easier to screw into wood.  These screws were finer threaded like drywall screws.  First picture shows how deep the screw goes til it hits solid wood.  And the second photo shows the full depth needed for this nail to go through.  One set of nails are 1-1/2" long and the others are 2" long, impossible to screw in.  The only reason is gets 2 stars is that the wood is good and solid and aged looking.
