I use this as a coffee and wine server cart.  It fits seamlessly into my decor.  It does require EXTENSIVE assembly and I consider myself fairly adept at this type of task.  However it did take me a couple of hours to get it all together.  It is not solid wood but manufactured wood with laminate.  It assembled well and looks very nice.  It is quite functional. The wine glass holders in relation to the wine rack below are best suited for a short stem wine glass otherwise you may lose the reasonable ability to put a bottle of wine directly below the wine glasses.
