Sturdy and pretty. Very pleased for price. Ladies home office taking shape :-). The kegs are metal but cannot tell from looking at them as they look wood with the quality. The assembly took about 1 hour. Most of that spent on the drawer. If the instructions were clearer on that it would have taken 1/2 the time I think. There was a lot of packing material and loose fibers and foam when the box was first opened. Luckily my room is near an outside door. If you will assemble this outside I would suggest opening the box outside and taking the pieces inside. Thanks wayfair. Shipping on this item was as expected at 1 week.
