The particle board is as you’d expect. The veneer looks like veneer. It seems solid enough. The build is a little time consuming, but these things usually are. It’s good, but no more than that. Not quite deep enough to hold a PS4 in the cubby. Handles my 65” without a problem and looks decent while doing it. The drawers don’t come out far enough making it difficult to get things in/ out that the drawer is big enough for, but doesn’t open enough for.
