The base material feels like cheap particle board or wood pulp pressed into a mold. The manufacturers selected a poor quality piece of marble for the top with a few black splotches on an otherwise white marble top that makes it look permanently dirty. Also, there was a defect on one of the corner seams that was dark brown instead of beige, which since it was on the front side of it, was very noticeable. I opted to return the item instead of installing.
