The unit is very sturdy and easy to assemble.   It will do the job.  The wood tone look is achieved w/ a printed veneer, it is not engineered wood, basically just a large sticker covering MDF.  I got it on sale so no huge complaints, but I would definitely not recommend it at full price.  If I'd seen it in person, I wouldn't have purchased it. The product description is accurate...it just under-whelms a little in person.
