Well, the surface texture is not very realistic to wood, the color is warm and the matte metal frame is very sleek! I love the function in this cabinet gives my dining area. I was able to place my cook books, room for the wine, and I use the bottom shelf for serving dishes that didn’t fit in my kitchen. The left cabinet holds the liquor bottles nicely, even the tall ones. Allows for less clutter and a nice surface to display some decor. Very sturdy, and all the parts were well labeled, easy to assemble, and arrived in perfect condition! Very impressed and one of my favorite buys!
