For this price, the "wood" parts could at least be real. They are cheap, pieced together wood with STICKERS on them to make them look like they are carved out of solid pieces of wood. The stickers are not even done well. I had to glue parts of them down so there weren't white areas showing. One screw head on the wood legs was broken off at the head because it was screwed in too tight by the factory. I found the screw head in the box. The directions are laughably bad and the bolts stripped easily. Now I'm left trying to find a replacement bolt to even finish putting it back together. The upholstery is MUCH darker than the picture. I would not have picked this one if I had known it was going to be dark taupe. I expected it to be light taupe like the picture shows. I'm 100% disappointed in this thing. If it wasn't such a hassle to return it I would. It's cheap garbage.
