The veneer if you could even call it that is super thin and fragile. Don’t drop anything on the pieces during assembly or it will chip. Also, don’t get the top wet, even a drip of water for a couple minutes will soak in and possibly bubble. Some edges showed shipping and handling wear that I had to touch up with a white paint marker. The inside shelf had a chipped corner but luckily wasn’t really visible when assembled.

The hinge design is low cost but works, it’s a little tricky to install and required a little force.

The piece looks good for the price, but you get what you pay for. It’s particle board with a tissue paper thin veneer.
