Most of these shelves are made of MDF, which I'd "fake wood" which cracks and breaks easily. This shelf has some real wood and some MDF. The glass doors are beveled, so overall quality is pretty good. I did crack one piece trying to tighten a cam.  Hubby had to step in and glue the piece and cams in.  It's a nice piece and adds character to the room. overall I'm happy with it.
