This is basically made of the cheapest particle board and construction materials possible. It was not very well packaged, and one slatted shelf was damaged in shipment (Wayfair is replacing for free, but it's annoying). It smelled so strongly like chemicals coming out of the box that I had to open the porch door (in January in Boston). It was worse that putting together Ikea products. Now that it is in place, it does look pretty good and functions well enough (thus, I am giving it two stars). However, the shelves inside the cabinet are not strong enough to hold cookbooks, the door does not shut well, and I think there is very little real wood on the whole thing. Spend a little more money and get something that will last.
