Looks Truly lovely when one is sitting away from it.   Up close, it looks kind of
imitation wood.  It took some time and a friend to put it together.  Some of the wood , when putting it together, was splitting apart,  but it all 
worked out  and it is very convenient small quilts, or blankets,  I am just putting my excess of shorts, shirts and jeans in there,  it works great for that!!!
