I think I had hoped this had more of a wood look than it does. It looks like manufactured wood, took a long time to assemble (a lot of pieces), and the drawers are not smooth opening and closing. We are putting wd-40 to make it easier, and hopefully that works. The color is not as sandy as in the picture. It has that in between brown and gray faux wood look. Wasn't that expensive, so we will keep rather than disassemble and send back. Bought the matching nightstands and not impressed with any of it, but it will do.
