The shelf is made of reclaimed wood but came slightly damaged.  I kept it because it looked really good in my bathroom but it is held together by small nails and the wood isn't the best quality.  Some of the pieces of wood are split and uneven.  But overall, I do like the shelf.  I just wish it were made from better wood.  My husband, on the other hand, thought the shelf looked like something from a junk yard but it does add character to our bathroom.
