Upon very close inspection, it is clear this is not wood but still a nice general look.  Overall its a nice updated look which is both rustic and modern.  Super easy to build (per handyman).  Def. need to bolt to the wall as it is very light weight and way too tempting to climb for little peeps.  For the price, great buy.

Pay attention to the dimensions, we knew it was not very tall going in so were not surprised but you may want to measure out the dimensions on the wall where you plan to put this to make sure it feels right to you.

Pros: Inexpensive, quick build, updated look
Cons: may not last forever, but at this price, who cares
