Real wood.  Very nicly done however between the 2 shelf hole placement was a little off.  The doors are solid and while 1 was square the other wasnt perfect.  One inside shelf wasnt glued right and wasnt square.  Its solid wood though. Hard to find solid stuff also because its more...tempermental in nature than pressboard.  After both are together hard to see issues i mentioned and they look real nice and doors are square after i used a cardboard trick.
