Low quality wood that breaks or is damaged easily in the shipping process. Some of the wood pieces (especially the thin covering boards visible to the front) are/were warped and did not lay flat to cover the exposed assembly sections. Extremely hard to put together and took a long time, and I consider myself pretty handy around the house. The wine glass holders on top and extremely hard to screw in straight. They do give you a guide hole for the screw, but no holes in the wood and it is difficult to like up. I finished it but with visible flaws I can see, and some things I had to cover-up or use other methods to attach.
