It's definitely MDF but it looks good for what it is and the price was right for a shared hallway where I didn't want expensive items to be vulnerable to damage. My only problem was the holes on the table bottom didn't align with the bolts provided. This was problematic because the holes were lined with metal, meaning that there was no way to force the bolts in without doing damage to the unit. I ended up leaving two bolts only halfway inserted. The unit still seemed sturdy despite this.
