The quality on this piece is generally appropriate for the price.  Unfortunately, the picture does not show the finish well.  It is a rough/rustic cut wood except on the top where it is smooth.  I'm not sure of the species of wood on the top but it seems like maybe a pine.  Its ok.  It will serve its purpose.

Pros: Delivery was easy
Cons: Similar but not exactly as shown in the picture which effects the actual "style" of the peice.
