This bookshelf is made of standard composite materials to look like real wood BUT, here's a couple things to keep in mind. 1) Its got great fit and finish all the same. 2) The color matched another piece I have - spot on. 3) The directions were the BEST I have ever seen (photos matched, advice right on, and proper hardware and labelling and las but not least; 4) The price was right 5) It comes in a variety of color 6) It shipped right away. 

So if your looking for something that smart looking, doesn't cost a lot, and you have some assembly skills - This book case is a winner!
