The stand is real wood, very solid, and very nice. Reason 4 stars instead of 5, product damaged during transit, I assume. Roller wheels made 8 circle indention's on the sliding track.  4 wheels, each made 2 indention's. Enough of an indention to rub off the stain and leave raw wood. Had to get a marker, this made it less noticeable. Did not complain, because I totally understand how probable this is. Overall, this was/is a solid purchase. I've had it about a month now and like it so much I'm about to get another one.
