I bought this item on sale and have to say for the sale price, it's pretty good. The legs are actually plastic painted in a metallic finish, but the door hard wear is real metal. The right door did not come completely gluednailed together on the one end so I had to glue it myself with gorilla glue, otherwise the glass would slide out. My husband and I put the unit together just the two of us in a bout an hour. All in all, this is the perfect sizecolor and look for my downtown loft.
